There is an ever-growing need for predictive models for the elasto-viscoplastic deformation of solids. Our goal in this paper is to incorporate recently developed out-of-equilibrium statistical concepts into a thermodynamically consistent,…
A continuum plasticity model for metals is presented from considerations of non-equilibrium thermodynamics. Of specific interest is the application of a fluctuation relation that subsumes the second law of thermodynamics en route to…
It is shown here that fracture after a brief plastic strain, typically of a few percents, is a necessary consequence of the polycrystalline nature of the materials. The polycrystal undergoing plastic deformation is modeled as a flowing…
We propose a dynamical theory of low-temperature shear deformation in amorphous solids. Our analysis is based on molecular-dynamics simulations of a two-dimensional, two-component noncrystalline system. These numerical simulations reveal…
Dislocations are the main carriers of plastic deformation in crystalline materials. Physically based constitutive equations of crystal plasticity typically incorporate dislocation mechanisms, using a dislocation density based description of…
A polycrystalline solid is modelled as an ensemble of random irregular polyhedra filling the entire space occupied by the solid body, leaving no voids or flaws between them. Adjacent grains can slide with a relative velocity proportional to…
Plastic deformation is widely regarded as an intrinsically dissipative phenomenon and its theoretical description is largely phenomenological. We argue instead that plasticity possesses a non-dissipative, symmetry determined backbone:…
Plasticity refers to thermodynamically irreversible deformation associated with a change of configuration of materials. Friction is a phenomenological law that describes the forces resisting sliding between two solids or across an embedded…
In order to reveal the coupling effect among the chemical activity and the hydraulic seepage as well as the mechanical properties, a constitutive theoretical framework considering the chemical activity for saturated porous media is derived…
The mechanical response of amorphous silica (or silica glass) under hydrostatic compression for very high pressures up to 25 GPa is modelled via an elastic-plastic constitutive equation (continuum mechanics framework).The material…
This work presents a general unified theory for coupled nonlinear elastic and inelastic deformations of curved thin shells. The coupling is based on a multiplicative decomposition of the surface deformation gradient. The kinematics of this…
A thermo-mechanical continuum theory is proposed for dynamically loaded glassy polymers. The theory is based on an ansatz for the Helmholtz free energy where both the deviatoric and the volumetric contributions to the free energy are…
Nonlinear plastic modes (NPMs) are collective displacements that are indicative of imminent plastic instabilities in elastic solids. In this work we formulate the atomistic theory that describes the reversible evolution of NPMs and their…
In this paper we present a thermodynamically consistent material model which is capable of modelling ductile-to brittle failure mode transition in ductile material undergoing deformations at high strain rates, and demonstrate the…
This work provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamental concepts in continuum mechanics, focusing on the behaviour of materials under mechanical loads. It discusses the distinction between elastic and plastic, highlighting their…
A thermodynamic framework has been developed for a class of amorphous polymers used in fused deposition modeling (FDM), in order to predict the residual stresses and the accompanying distortion of the geometry of the printed part (warping).…
A three-dimensional mesoscopic viscoplasticity model for simulating rate-dependent plasticity and creep in unidirectional thermoplastic composites is presented. The constitutive model is a transversely isotropic extension of an isotropic…
A continuum mixture theory is formulated for large deformations, thermal effects, phase interactions, and degradation of soft biologic tissues. Such tissues consist of one or more solid and fluid phases and can demonstrate nonlinear…
A constitutive model based on the combination of damage mechanics and plasticity is developed to analyse the failure of concrete structures. The aim is to obtain a model, which describes the important characteristics of the failure process…
We report a method for describing plasticity in a broad class of amorphous materials. The method is based on nonlinear (geometric) deformation theory allowing the separation of the plastic deformation from the general deformation tensor.…
