Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesA COSSERAT-TYPE PLATE THEORY AND ITS APPLICATION TO CARBON NANOTUBE MICROSTRUCTUREAbdellatif Selmi, Hedi Hassis, Issam Doghri, Hatem ZenzriThe predictive capabilities of plate and shell theories greatly depend on their underlying kinematic assumptions. In this study, we develop a Cosserat-type elastic plate theory which accounts for rotations around the normal to the mid-surface plane (so-called drilling rotations). Internal loads, equilibrium equations, boundary conditions and constitutive equations are derived. The case of a Single Walled carbon Nanotube (SWNT) modelled … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 8 · 12 May 2014 · 6,930 accessesView PDF Cite
