Rubberlike materials exhibit strong rate-dependent mechanical response which manifests
itself in creep and relaxation tests as well as in the hysteresis curves under cyclic loading …

Soft materials have attracted widespread attention and brought a wave of novel potential
applications. Accurate mechanical characterization is crucial for improving the ration design …

We consider the numerical treatment of one of the most popular finite strain models of the
viscoelastic Maxwell body. This model is based on the multiplicative decomposition of the …

We propose a simple, efficient, and reliable procedure for implicit time step**, regarding a
special case of the viscoplasticity model proposed by Simo and Miehe (1992). The …

An efficient and reliable stress computation algorithm is presented, which is based on
implicit integration of the local evolution equations of multiplicative finite-strain plasticity …

In this work, a constitutive framework for the mechanical characterization of soft biological
tissues is proposed. Making use of the additive decomposition of the strain energy function …

A popular version of the finite‐strain Maxwell fluid is considered, which is based on the
multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient tensor. The model combines …

In the last decades, great attention is being given to the development and improvement of
station-kee** systems of offshore structures, such as wind turbines, energy converters …

Single-field problems are well understood concerning their numerical treatment and their
numerical problems. In coupled situations, this is not always the case. This article is an …

The semi-solid metal processing allows for the production of components with complex
geometries allied to lower forming forces. In the case of X210Cr12 tool steel, one big …
