A phase-field approach was used in order to model the complex mechanisms of fatigue
crack nucleation and growth. This popular method enables a flexible framework that …

Rainfall weakens an earth slope in a number of ways. It increases the degree of saturation of
the soil, thereby breaking the bonds created by surface tension between the soil particles …

This paper first discusses alternative stress integration schemes in numerical solutions to
large‐deformation problems in hardening materials. Three common numerical methods, ie …

Corroboration of mechano-regulation algorithms is difficult, partly because repeatable
experimental outcomes under a controlled mechanical environment are necessary, but …

Finite Element Methods are used for numerous engineering applications where numerical
solutions of partial differential equations are needed. As computers can now deal with the …

In this paper a computational approach is presented that is able to forward model complex
structural evolution with multiple intersecting faults that exhibit large relative movement. The …

Mechanized tunneling is characterized by complex interactions between the shield machine
and the surrounding ground during the TBM advancement process. In this paper, a new …

We present projection methods and transfer operations required for adaptive mesh
refinement/coarsening in problems with internal variables. We extend the results of Hennig …

The modeling of metal cutting has proved to be particularly complex due to the diversity of
physical phenomena involved, including thermo-mechanical coupling, contact/friction and …
