Strain localization is responsible for mesh dependence in numerical analyses concerning a vast variety of fields such as solid mechanics, dynamics, biomechanics and geomechanics. Therefore, numerical methods that regularize strain…
In this letter, we develop a framework to study the mechanical response of athermal amorphous solids via a coupling of mesoscale and microscopic models. Using measurements of coarse grained quantities from simulations of dense disordered…
In Part I of this two part series, we presented a multi-neighbor dependent contact model for adhesive elastic-plastic particles built upon the method of dimensionality reduction that is valid for the elastic and fully-plastic contact…
The isothermal quasistatic (i.e.\ acceleration neglected) hardening-free plasticity at large strains is considered, based on the standard multiplicative decomposition of the total strain and the isochoric plastic distortion. The Eulerian…
The elastic coupling between plastic events is generally invoked to interpret plastic properties and failure of amorphous soft glassy materials. We report an experiment where the emergence of a self-organized plastic flow is observed well…
The modeling of cracks is an important topic - both in engineering as well as in mathematics. Since crack propagation is characterized by a free boundary value problem (the geometry of the crack is not known beforehand, but part of the…
A general model is formulated for elasto-plastic materials undergoing linear kinematic hardening to describe microstructure evolution associated with phase transformations. Using infinitesimal strain theory, the model is based on…
This paper develops a damage model for unfilled cross-linked rubbers based on the concept of scission of polymer chains. The model is built up on the well-known Gent elastic potential complemented by a kinetic equation describing effects of…
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…
A new relaxation approach is proposed which allows for the description of stress- and strain-softening at finite strains. The model is based on the construction of a convex hull replacing the originally non-convex incremental stress…
In the nonconvex case solutions of rate-independent systems may develop jumps as a function of time. To model such jumps, we adopt the philosophy that rate independence should be considered as limit of systems with smaller and smaller…
A typical phase field approach for describing phase separation and coarsening phenomena in alloys is the Cahn-Hilliard model. This model has been generalized to the so-called Cahn-Larch\'e system by combining it with elasticity to capture…
We establish the vanishing viscosity limit of viscous Burgers-Vlasov equations for one dimensional kinetic model about interactions between a viscous fluid and dispersed particles by using compensated compactness technique and the evolution…
In this work we analyze the stability and convergence properties of a loosely-coupled scheme, called the kinematically coupled scheme, and its extensions for the interaction between an incompressible, viscous fluid and a thin, elastic…
By extending to the stochastic setting the classical vanishing viscosity approach we prove the existence of suitably weak solutions of a class of nonlinear stochastic evolution equation of rate-independent type. Approximate solutions are…
This work is devoted to the analysis of convergence of an alternate (staggered) minimization algorithm in the framework of phase field models of fracture. The energy of the system is characterized by a nonlinear splitting of tensile and…
We consider a rate-independent system with nonconvex energy under discontinuous external loading. The underlying space is finite dimensional and the loads are functions in $BV([0,T];\mathbb{R}^d)$. We investigate the stability of various…
We study a certain class of weak solutions to rate-independent systems, which is constructed by using the local minimality in a small neighborhood of order $\varepsilon$ and then taking the limit $\varepsilon \to 0$. We show that the…
The paper presents analytical or semi-analytical solutions for the formation and evolution of localized plastic zone in a uniaxially loaded bar with variable cross-sectional area. A variationally based formulation of explicit gradient…
In this paper we prove the existence of solutions for a class of viscoelastic dynamic systems on time--dependent cracked domains, with possibly degenerate viscosity coefficients. Under stronger regularity assumptions we also show a…
