There is a long history of mathematical and computational modelling with the objective of
understanding the mechanisms governing cartilage׳ s remarkable mechanical performance …

Abstract Systems dominated by heterogeneity over a multiplicity of scales, like porous
media, still challenge our modeling efforts. The presence of disparate length-and time …

We present a thermodynamically consistent constitutive model for fluid-saturated sediments,
spanning dense to dilute regimes, developed from the basic balance laws for two-phase …

The single continuum model formulation, no matter how complex the considered constitutive
relations are, cannot describe important phenomena stemming from constituents' …

Mixtures of fluids and granular sediments play an important role in many industrial,
geotechnical, and aerospace engineering problems, from waste management and …

Models for self-organization have been used in complex systems across numerous
disciplines, with a prime example given by the Turing instability. However, this instability is …

The membrane electrode assembly (MEA) plays an important role in the proton exchange
membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) performance. Typically, the structure comprises of a polymer …

Despite the extensive attention that water transport in Nafion membranes has been subject
to, several phenomenal still remain unexplained. It is for instance not clear why desorption …

Finite element (FE) modeling plays a well-established and increasingly significant role in
analyses of articular cartilage at the organ, tissue, and cell scales: for example …

The interactions of gas migration, water transport and mechanical deformation of rocks are
significant for geoenergy industry (eg Carbon Capture and Storage, radioactive waste …
