Finding an accurate stress-strain relation, able to describe the mechanical behavior of metals during {forming} and machining processes, is an important challenge in several fields of mechanics, with significant repercussions in the…

Elastomers are used in a wide range of applications because of their large strain to failure, low density, and tailorable stiffness and toughness. The mechanical behavior of elastomers derives mainly from the entropic elasticity of the…

In this work we study a quasi-static evolution of thermo-visco-elastic model with homogeneous thermal expansion. We assume that material is subject to two kinds of mechanical deformations: elastic and inelastic. Inelastic deformation is…

We investigate the stretching response of a thick polymer model by means of extensive stochastic simulations. The computational results are synthesized in an analytic expression that characterizes how the force versus elongation curve…

We provide a fundamental insight into the microscopic mechanisms of the ageing processes. Using large scale molecular dynamics simulations of the prototypical ferroelectric material PbTiO3, we demonstrate that the experimentally observed…

The theory of elastic magnets is formulated under possible diffusion and heat flow governed by Fick's and Fourier's laws in the deformed (Eulerian) configuration, respectively. The concepts of nonlocal nonsimple materials and viscous…

We present experiments showing that a granular system of small beads does exhibit ageing properties : its maximum stability angle is measured to increase logarithmically with resting time, i.e. the time elapsed before performing the…

We investigate the dissipative mechanisms exhibited by creased material sheets when subjected to mechanical loading, which comes in the form of plasticity and relaxation phenomena within the creases. After demonstrating that plasticity…

Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) gyroscopes are widely used, e.g. in modern automotive and consumer applications, and require signal stability and accuracy in rather harsh environmental conditions. In many use cases, device reliability…

We derive expressions for the lowest nonlinear elastic constants of amorphous solids in athermal conditions (up to third order), in terms of the interaction potential between the constituent particles. The effect of these constants cannot…

We study the existence of quasistatic evolutions for a family of gradient damage models which take into account fatigue, that is the process of weakening in a material due to repeated applied loads. The main feature of these models is the…

For the numerical simulation of time-dependent problems, recent works suggest the use of a time marching scheme based on a tensorial decomposition of the time axis. This time-separated representation is straightforwardly introduced in the…

Mechanical deformation of amorphous solids can be described as consisting of an elastic part in which the stress increases linearly with strain, up to a yield point at which the solid either fractures or starts deforming plastically. It is…

Elastic interactions arising from a difference of lattice spacing between two coherent phases can have a strong influence on the phase separation (coarsening) of alloys. If the elastic moduli are different in the two phases, the elastic…

We analyze numerically the out-of-equilibrium relaxation dynamics of a long-range Hamiltonian system of $N$ fully coupled rotators. For a particular family of initial conditions, this system is known to enter a particular regime in which…

We provide a clear energetic insight into the catastrophic nature of the so-called creasing and pull-in instabilities in soft electro-active elastomers. These phenomena are ubiquitous for thin electro-elastic plates and are a major obstacle…

We consider a simple analytically tractable model of metastability and ageing. In this model, a particle can jump left or right by two steps to an unoccupied site, but only if the the site in between is occupied. We show that the model is…

This article deals with a viscoplastic material model of overstress type. The model is based on a multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient into elastic and inelastic part. An additional multiplicative decomposition of…

The detailed knowledge of the inner skin temperature behavior is very important to evaluate and manage the aging of large pipes in cooling systems. We describe here a method to obtain this information as a function of outer skin temperature…

By means of Monte Carlo simulations on the three-dimensional Ising spin-glass model, we have studied aging phenomena with various temperature($T$)-change protocols. Particularly, a $T$-shift protocol, in which a system is first quenched to…
