Anisotropic strain gradient thermoelasticity for cellular structures: Plate models, homogenization and isogeometric analysis

For three-dimensional cellular plate-like structures with a triangular (extruded lattice) microarchitecture, the article develops a pair of two-scale plate models relying on the anisotropic form of Mindlin’s strain gradient thermoelasticity theory. Accordingly, a computational homogenization method is proposed for determining the constitutive parameters of the related higher-order constitutive tensors. First, a Reissner–Mindlin plate model is...
