A New Beam Theory: A Micromorphic Beam Theory for Beams with Elongated Microstructures

Submitted by M. Shaat on

A novel micromorphic beam theory that considers the exact shape and size of the beamโ€™s microstructure is developed. The new theory complements the beam theories that are based on the classical mechanics by modeling the shape and size of the beamโ€™s microstructure. This theory models the beam with a microstructure that has shape and size and exhibits microstrains that are independent of the beamโ€™s macroscopic strains.
