Abstract

Some salient aspects from recent papers of Mindlin, Koiter and Kröner on couple stresses are briefly discussed in order to evaluate the engineering importance of these stresses. Results are reported of bending tests on aluminium alloy sheet specimens to study the effect of sheet thickness on the flexural rigidity.

    Historically, the idea underlying generalized continuum theories with consideration of couple stresses or body couples may be traced back to the original work of E. and F. Cosserat (1909). It was not until the 1960s that this subject was reached maturity with the works of Toupin (1962, 1964), Mindlin and Tiersten (1962), Mindlin (1964, 1965) and many other authors (e.g., Eringen, 1966; Eringen and Suhubi, 1964; Koiter, 1964; Schijve, 1966; Suhubl and Eringen, 1964). The interest in such theories lies in their intrinsic ability to introduce one or more length scales that are absent in classical continuum theories.
