A finite-deformation framework for gradient crystal plasticity is developed within a thermodynamically consistent setting grounded in Gurtin's power-conjugate formulation. The model introduces a flow rule that accounts explicitly for both…

Plasticity of two-dimensional discrete dislocation systems is studied. It is shown, that at some threshold stress level the response becomes stress-rate dependent. Below this stress level the stress-plastic strain relation exhibits…

In this paper, we deduce a macroscopic strain gradient theory for plasticity from a model of discrete dislocations. We restrict our analysis to the case of a cylindrical symmetry for the crystal in exam, so that the mathematical formulation…

Consideration is given to a non-convex variational model for a shear experiment in the framework of single-crystal linearised plasticity with infinite cross-hardening. The rectangular shear sample is clamped at each end, and is subjected to…

Non-local elasticity models in continuum mechanics can be treated with two different approaches: the gradient elasticity models (weak non-locality) and the integral non-local models (strong non-locality). This article focuses on the…

The purpose of this paper is to provide analytical and numerical solutions of the formation and evolution of the localized plastic zone in a uniaxially loaded bar with variable cross-sectional area. An energy-based variational approach is…

From the analysis of the relaxation process of isolated lattice many-body quantum systems quenched far from equilibrium, we deduce a criterion for predicting when they are certain to thermalize. It is based on the algebraic behavior…

Localization of plastic strain induced by softening can be objectively described by a regularized plasticity model that postulates a dependence of the current yield stress on a nonlocal softening variable defined by a differential…

Creep tests on heterogeneous materials under subcritical loading typically show a power-law decaying strain rate before failure, with the exponent often considered material-dependent but independent of applied stress. By imposing successive…

We formulate a large-strain model of single-slip crystal elastoplasticity in the framework of energetic solutions. Numerical performance of the model is compared with lab experiments on the compression of a stack of note papers.

Many natural processes exhibit power-law behavior. The power-law exponent is linked to the underlying physical process and therefore its precise value is of interest. With respect to the energy content of nanoflares, for example, a…

We prove the existence of minimisers for a family of models related to the single-slip-to-single-plane relaxation of single-crystal, strain-gradient elastoplasticity with $L^p$-hardening penalty. In these relaxed models, where only one…

We investigate the approach to catastrophic failure in a model porous granular material undergoing uniaxial compression. A discrete element computational model is used to simulate both the micro-structure of the material and the complex…

In order to understand the nature of friction in closely-packed granular materials, a discrete element simulation on granular layers subjected to isobaric plain shear is performed. It is found that the friction coefficient increases as the…

We study a wave equation with a nonlocal time fractional damping term that models the effects of acoustic attenuation characterized by a frequency dependence power law. First we prove existence of a unique solution to this equation with…

In this article we investigate the energy spectrum statistics of fractals at the quantum level. We show that the energy-level distribution of a fractal follows a power-law behaviour, if its energy spectrum is a limit set of piece-wise…

In this work, a higher-order irrotational strain gradient plasticity theory is studied in the small strain regime. A detailed numerical study is based on the problem of simple shear of a non-homogeneous block comprising an elastic-plastic…

The present paper describes a stochastic model of fracture, whose fragment size distribution can be calculated analytically as a power-law-like distribution. The model is basically cascade fracture, but incorporates the effect that each…

In the limit of vanishing lattice spacing we provide a rigorous variational coarse-graining result for a next-to-nearest neighbor lattice model of a simple crystal. We show that the $\Gamma$-limit of suitable scaled versions of the model…

An extended Maxwell viscoelastic model with a relaxation parameter is studied from mathematical and numerical points of view. It is shown that the model has a gradient flow property with respect to a viscoelastic energy. Based on the…
