From: A Micromorphic Beam Theory for Beams with Elongated Microstructures

Functions of the nondimensional macroscopic rotation, \(\phi (\bar{x})\), and microstrain rotation, \(\theta (\bar{x})\), for different values of the coupling stiffness, μc, and the microscopic stiffness (a,c) \({\mu }_{m}=\mu \) and (b,d) \({\mu }_{m}=-\mu \) (\({\ell }_{2}=0.8L\), \(L/h=100\)). Results of Timoshenko beam theory are represented by open circles. Note that the dotted curves represent the evolution of the depicted parameter, as it changes between the solid curves.
