The mechanical properties of bone are fundamental to the ability of our skeletons to support
movement and to provide protection to our vital organs. As such, deterioration in mechanical …

A three-dimensional, anisotropic constitutive model is presented to model the in-plane
elastic–plastic deformation of paper and paperboard. The proposed initial yield surface is …

In the past three decades, finite element (FE) modelling has provided considerable
understanding to the area of musculoskeletal biomechanics. However, most of this …

The kinematics of geometrically nonlinear continuum mechanics is deeply rooted in
differential geometry. An appreciation thereof is thus particularly illuminating. This is …

A microstructure-based viscoplastic continuum model is developed for the permanent
deformation of asphalt concrete (AC). The model accounts for several phenomena that …

A new model is developed in order to account for the effect of microstructural degradation (ie
precipitate-directional-coarsening) on the viscoplastic behavior of single crystal superalloys …

Since Pierre Curie discovered the piezoelectric effect in 1880, piezoelectric materials have
been widely used to make many electromechanical devices, such as transducers for …

Nonlinear computational analysis of materials showing elasto-plasticity or damage relies on
knowledge of their yield behavior and strengths under complex stress states. In this work, a …

Papers dealing with the generalized Hooke's law for linearly elastic anisotropic media are
reviewed. The papers considered are based on Kelvin's approach disclosing the structure of …
