A gradient elastic homogenisation model for brick masonry
Masonry has a heterogeneous structure composed of masonry units bound by mortar. The homogenisation of masonry walls is a challenging task but also a very appealing method for modelling heterogeneity effects exhibited by masonry elements... Read more.
CIVIL-COMP 2019: The Sixteenth International Conference on Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering Computing
Modelling masonry structures using gradient elasticity
Masonry is a heterogeneous and anisotropic composite material susceptible to microcracks due to the different mechanical properties of its constituents parts; the brick units and mortar joint... Read more.
