In this article, we introduce the concept of energy-variational solutions for a large class of systems of nonlinear evolutionary partial differential equations. Under certain convexity assumptions, the existence of such solutions can be…
A constitutive model is developed to predict the viscoelastic response of polyimide resins that are used in high temperature applications. This model is based on a thermodynamic framework that uses the notion that the `natural…
This study presents a Eulerian theory to elucidate the molecular kinematics in polymer networks and their connection to continuum deformation, grounded in fundamental statistical physics and thermodynamics. Three key innovations are…
We investigate how two finite-amplitude, transverse, plane body waves may be superposed to propagate in a deformed hyperelastic incompressible solid. We find that the equations of motion reduce to a well-determined system of partial…
The purpose of this article is to show that there are many differential viscoelastic models for which the global existence of a regular solution is possible. Although the problem of global existence in the classic Oldroyd model is still…
An efficient numerical framework is presented for modeling viscoelasticity and permanent set of polymers. It is based on the hereditary integral form of transient network theory, in which polymer chains belong to distinct networks each with…
We present a two-level preconditioner for solving linear systems arising from the discretization of the elliptic, linear-elastic deformation equation, in displacement unknowns, over domains that have arbitrary geometric and topological…
In this note, first the Recurrent Variational Approach (RVA) is introduced by using as example a non-trivial spin-model, the spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic two-leg-ladder. Then, a first application of this scheme to the electronic structure of…
A model for morphoelastic growth, that is, growth influenced by elastic stress, driven by the absorption of nutrients is considered. The model features a multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient into an elastic contribution…
We propose a novel mixed displacement-pressure formulation based on an energy functional that takes into account the relation between the pressure and the volumetric energy function. We demonstrate that the proposed two-field mixed…
When nonconforming discontinuous Galerkin methods are implemented for hyperbolic equations using quadrature, exponential energy growth can result even when the underlying scheme with exact integration does not support such growth. Using…
A polymer model given in terms of beads, interacting through Hookean springs and hydrodynamic forces, is studied. Brownian dynamics description of this bead-spring polymer model is extended to multiple resolutions. Using this multiscale…
The main goal of this work is to clarify and quantify, by means of mathematical analysis, the role of structural viscoelasticity in the biomechanical response of deformable porous media with incompressible constituents to sudden changes in…
This work focuses on the thermodynamics of pseudo-elastic models which represent the Mullins effect. Two established models are analyzed theoretically, their thermomechanical properties are derived, and certain critical points are…
Finite plasticity theories are still a subject of controversy and lively discussions. Among the approaches to finite elastoplasticity two became especially popular. The first, implemented in the commercial finite element codes, is based on…
We develop a thermodynamic framework for modeling nonlinear ultrasonic damage sensing and prognosis in materials undergoing progressive damage. The framework is based on the internal variable approach and relies on the construction of a…
Compressible Mooney-Rivlin theory has been used to model hyperelastic solids, such as rubber and porous polymers, and more recently for the modeling of soft tissues for biomedical tissues, undergoing large elastic deformations. We propose a…
Based on the Jacobi polynomial expansion, an arbitrary high-order Discontinuous Galerkin solver for compressible flows on unstructured meshes is proposed in the present work. First, we construct orthogonal polynomials for 2D and 3D…
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…
All the Doubly Special Relativity (DSR) models studied in literature so far involve a deformation of the energy conservation rule that forces us to release the hypothesis of the additivity of the energy for composite systems. In view of the…
