Couple Stress tensor

New perspective on Couple Stress theory resolving the indeterminacy issue

Submitted by Ali_Hadjesfandiari on

Dear fellow Mechanicians,We have done this research on couple stress theory which we believe has resolved the problem of indeterminacy in the spherical part of the couple-stress tensor and the appearance of the body couple in the constitutive relation for the force-stress tensor  (Mindlin and Tiersten, 1962).I humbly request you to read the paper and give me your feedback. I believe you would agree this is an important issue in Continuum Mechanics which can open up new frontiers.Sincerely,

Ali Reza Hadjesfandiari
