Metastasis is a dynamic process in which cancer cells navigate the tumor microenvironment,
largely guided by external chemical and mechanical cues. Our current understanding of …

The present paper provides details on the new trends in application of asymptotic
homogenization techniques to the analysis of composite materials and thin-walled …

A coupled thermal-elastic-plastic-damage model for concrete subjected to dynamic loading
is proposed. This model is formulated in the thermodynamic framework, with the adoption of …

The simplest way to formulate the basic equations of continuum mech-ics and the
constitutive or evolutional equations of various materials is to restrict ourselves to …

A plastic-damage constitutive model for plain concrete is developed in this work. Anisotropic
damage with a plasticity yield criterion and a damage criterion are introduced to be able to …

The paper discusses the effect of stress triaxiality on the onset and evolution of damage in
ductile metals. A series of tests including shear tests and experiments on smooth and pre …

A material model for concrete is proposed here within the framework of a thermodynamically
consistent elasto-plasticity–damage theory. Two anisotropic damage tensors and two …

This book provides in a single and unified volume a clear and thorough presentation of the
recent advances in continuum damage mechanics for metals and metal matrix composites …

In this contribution various aspects of an anisotropic damage model coupled to plasticity are
considered. The model is formulated within the thermodynamic framework and implements a …

A review of the development and the usages of internal state variable (ISV) theory are
presented in this paper. The history of different developments leading up the formulation of …
