It is my pleasure to announce that one of my papers has recently been accepted for publication in the Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids. It's called New boundary conditions for the computation of the apparent stiffness of statistical volume elements.
It introduces a new set of boundary conditions to be applied to a finite-size Statistical Volume Element. The resulting problem can be solved in a natural way with the help of the Green operator for strains of the whole space. Also, a mathematical framework is proposed for the analysis of linear elasticity problems in the whole (unbounded space).
