Clinching is often used to join sheet-like parts, which can be made of different materials, to
produce complex lightweight structures. The holistic prediction of the joinability, the …

The free and open source software tool ADAPT (A Diversely Applicable Parameter
Identification Tool) for the inverse parameter identification of constitutive material models is …

We present a new Integrated Finite Element Neural Network framework (I-FENN), with the
objective to accelerate the numerical solution of nonlinear computational mechanics …

A hybrid strategy for the identification of material parameters of constitutive models is
presented. One main challenge in the context of classic optimisation-based parameter …

The prediction of crack initiation and propagation in ductile failure processes are
challenging tasks for the design and fabrication of metallic materials and structures on a …

This work is concerned with the theoretical development, algorithmic implementation and
numerical investigation of a novel thermodynamically consistent 'two-surface'gradient …

We present a strategy which allows to implement a fully coupled, gradient-enhanced
damage law into commercial FEM-codes with little effort. This enables a robust simulation of …

We introduce a comprehensive framework for the efficient implementation of finite
deformation gradient-regularised damage formulations in existing finite element codes. The …

For various engineering applications, the analysis and prediction of damage onset and
propagation within ductile materials under thermo-mechanical loading conditions play a …

Three regularization concepts are assessed regarding their variational structure and
interference with the predicted physics of (quasi-) brittle damage: the fracture energy …
