The numerical modeling of thermomechanical fracture is an essential aspect of designing
critical components in various industries, including aerospace, automobile, and nuclear. The …

Anisotropic fracture modelling constitutes an important problem in fracture mechanics as
many natural, composite and architected materials exhibit fracture anisotropy. The multi …

To develop an efficient numerical scheme for investigating the fracture characteristics of
modern architected lattice materials, we present a phase-field fracture model for shallow …

We propose a thermodynamically consistent phase-field fracture (PFF) formulation for
elastoplastic solids undergoing ductile fracture. Modelling the degradation of epoxy in the …

In this work, the hybrid peridynamic and classical continuum mechanical model based on
the element‐type numerical discretization is used to study the dynamic fracture problem of …

Abstract Usually, Lagrangian or Eulerian–Lagrangian descriptions of motion are adopted to
model interaction of fluids and deformable solid bodies. However, in some cases both …

The material point method (MPM) can effectively address material fragmentation issues over
mesh-based methods due to its meshfree nature, but faces numerical inaccuracies such as …

Rational thermodynamics with relaxing heat fluxes is used in this work to obtain the
constitutive equations of thermoelasticity. It is found that it is possible to formulate the …

This special issue of Meccanica celebrates the 75th birthday of Prof. JN Reddy. His
professional work and warm personality have greatly inspired a generation of researchers in …
