Conventional SN curve methods for fatigue life assessment fail to consider the different
cracking mechanisms of crack initiation and propagation, resulting in less accurate …

Experimental observations have evidenced the insufficiency of yield surface definition via
monotonic loading to guarantee adequate description of material behaviour under fatigue …

This work presents an unconventional fully coupled elasto-viscoplastic and damage
constitutive model that is suitable for investigating the failure mechanism of metallic …

This paper presents a unified critical state parameter model for evaluating sand and
overconsolidated clay, which is named as CASM-S. The model is formulated in terms of the …

The work presents the numerical implementation of the multiplicative hyperelastic-based
Extended Subloading Surface model. The theoretical development of the constitutive …

Evaluating the correct mode of material failure is crucial in many manufacturing industries.
Not only does doing so help prevent sudden malfunctions, it can also mean better-designed …

Mechanical response of soils under simple shear conditions has long been a subject of
significant interest in the field of geomechanics. When subjected to simple shear loading …

The aim of this study is to characterize the stress–strain behavior of three construction steels
(SM490, SM570, and F18B) through both experimental and numerical investigations. The …

This paper presents an elastoplastic/damage model that couples the constitutive equations
of the extended subloading surface plasticity theory with a scalar isotropic ductile damage …

Plastic deformations of metallic materials depend on the rate of loading or deformation,
implying rate-independent constitutive theories cannot catch a realistic response of the …
