      Frankberg, Erkka J.; Lambai, Aloshious; Zhang, Jiahui; Kalikka, Janne; Khakalo, Sergei; Paladino, Boris; Cabrioli, Mattia; Mathews, Nidhin G.; Salminen, Turkka; Hokka, Mikko; Akola, Jaakko Eemeli; Kuronen, Antti; Levänen, Erkki; Di Fonzo, Fabio; Mohanty, Gaurav (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Oxide glasses are an elementary group of materials in modern society, but brittleness limits their wider usability at room temperature. As an exception to the rule, amorphous aluminum oxide (a-Al2O3) is a rare diatomic ...
    • Kirchhoff-Love shells within strain gradient elasticity: weak and strong formulations and an H3-conforming isogeometric implementation 

      Balobanov, Viacheslav; Kiendl, Josef; Khakalo, Sergei; Niiranen, Jarkko (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      A strain gradient elasticity model for shells of arbitrary geometry is derived for the first time. The Kirchhoff–Love shell kinematics is employed in the context of a one-parameter modification of Mindlin’s strain gradient ...
