Instabilities in solids and structures are ubiquitous across all length and time scales, and
engineering design principles have commonly aimed at preventing instability. However …

Viscoplastic behavior of metallic materials is manifested by collective behavior of lattice
defects at multiple length scales. The full gamut of length scales, from atomic to …

Designing materials for targeted performance requirements as required in Integrated
Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) demands a combined strategy of bottom–up …

This work develops new minimization and saddle point principles for the coupled problem of
Darcy–Biot-type fluid transport in porous media at fracture. It shows that the quasi-static …

This book focuses on the theoretical aspects of small strain theory of elastoplasticity with
hardening assumptions. It provides a comprehensive and unified treatment of the …

This book describes behavior of crystalline solids primarily via methods of modern
continuum mechanics. Emphasis is given to geometrically nonlinear descriptions, ie, finite …

Research trends in metal plasticity over the past 25years are briefly reviewed. The myriad of
length scales at which phenomena involving microstructure rearrangement during plastic …

Rate-independent systems occur as limit problems in many physical and mechanical
problems if the interesting time scales are much longer than the intrinsic time scales in the …

The paper investigates algorithms for the computation of homogenized stresses and overall
tangent moduli of micro-structures undergoing large-strain deformations. Typically, these …

This paper deals with a general approach to the modeling of rate–independent processes
which may display hysteretic behavior. Such processes play an important role in many …
