Taking into account the fact that flexural and torsional stiffnesses are much smaller than the extensional one we overpass classical homogenization formula and obtain totally different types of effective energies. We work in the framework of linear elasticity. We give different examples of two dimensional or three dimensional micro-structures which lead to generalized 1D, 2D or 3D continua like Timoshenko beam, Mindlin-Reissner plate, strain gradient, Cosserat, or micromorphic continua.","PeriodicalId":45078,"journal":{"name":"Mathematics and Mechanics of Complex Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2018-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77209870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, the work addresses the problem of explaining the origin of the systematic error on longitudes in Ptolemy's Geographia and its logical relation with the reduced estimate for the dimension of the Earth there given. The thesis is sustained that, conversely to a frequently advanced conjecture, the shrinking of the dimension of the Earth is a consequence of the scale error on the longitudes, which, in turn, was originated by a misidentification of the Islands of the Blessed. The location of the Islands of the Blessed according the source of Ptolemy is identified in the Caribbean. The analysis of a passage by Pliny provides an independent and quantitative confirmation of the proposed identification, which sheds new light on possible contact among civilizations.","PeriodicalId":45078,"journal":{"name":"Mathematics and Mechanics of Complex Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2018-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77901468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
