The deformation of brittle material is primarily accompanied by micro-cracking and faulting. However, it has often been found that continuum fluid models, usually based on a non-Newtonian viscosity, are applicable. To explain this rheology,…

Three general modes are distinguished in the deformation of a thin shell; these are stretching, drilling, and bending. Of these, the drilling mode is the one more likely to emerge in a soft matter shell (as compared to a hard, structural…
Ductile fracture of metallic materials typically involves the elastoplastic deformation and associated damaging process. The nonlocal lattice particle method (LPM) can be extended to model this complex behavior. Recently, a distortional…
