Viscoplastic flow of polycrystalline metallic materials is the result of motion and interaction of dislocations, line defects of the crystalline structure. In the microstructural (physics-based) constitutive model presented in this paper,…
Governing equations are derived for the kinetics of physical aging in polymeric glasses. An amorphous polymer is treated as an ensemble of cooperatively rearranged regions (CRR). Any CRR is thought of as a string of elementary clusters…
We show that the mass-radius $(M-R)$ relation corresponding to the stiffest equation of state (EOS) does not provide the necessary and sufficient condition of dynamical stability for the equilibrium configurations, since such configurations…

We determine the material parameters in the relaxed micromorphic generalized continuum model for a given periodic microstructure in this work. This is achieved through a least squares fitting of the total energy of the relaxed micromorphic…
An accurate description of elastic effects of coherent microstructures is necessary for the predictive modeling of microstructural evolution in many structural materials. To date, there has not been a demonstration on how continuum…
We present analyses of crease-formation and stability criteria for incompressible hyperelastic solids. A generic singular perturbation over a laterally compressed half-space creates a far-field eigenmode of three energy-release angular…
Formulating an appropriate elasto-viscoplastic constitutive equation is challenging, especially for a model describing pre-yielding solid and post-yielding liquid behaviours. Oldroyds 1946 formulation was one of the first models explaining…

We propose a modeling framework for finite viscoelasticity, inspired by the kinematic assumption made by Green and Naghdi in plasticity. This approach fundamentally differs from the widely used multiplicative decomposition of the…
While crack nucleation and propagation in the brittle or quasi-brittle regime can be predicted via variational or material-force-based phase field fracture models, these models often assume that the underlying elastic response of the…

This paper proposes a systematic and novel component level co-rotational (CR) framework, for upgrading existing 3D continuum finite elements to flexible multibody analysis. Without using any model reduction techniques, the high efficiency…
A cornerstone of numerical homogenization is the equivalence of the microscopic and the macroscopic energy densities, which is referred to as Hill-Mandel condition. Among these coupling conditions, the cases of periodic, linear displacement…

Constitutive laws underlie most physical processes in nature. However, learning such equations in heterogeneous solids (e.g., due to phase separation) is challenging. One such relationship is between composition and eigenstrain, which…
Physical interaction with textiles, such as assistive dressing, relies on advanced dextreous capabilities. The underlying complexity in textile behavior when being pulled and stretched, is due to both the yarn material properties and the…
We present a geometric formulation of classical Cosserat elasticity in which the coframe and rotational connection are treated as independent variational fields. In contrast to conventional metric-based approaches, this formulation makes…
