Among hard materials, icosahedra-based boron-rich ceramics are only second to diamond-
based structures. This class of ceramics possesses lower density, higher thermal and …

Paramagnetic centers and their character in the nanocrystalline h-BN particles were
investigated before and after neutron irradiation. Color changing in a neutron irradiated h …

Theoretical and computational methods for representing mechanical behaviors of crystalline
materials in the vicinity of planar interfaces are examined and compared. Emphasis is on …

This book describes thermoelastic and inelastic deformation processes in crystalline solids
undergoing loading by shock compression. Constitutive models with a basis in geometrically …

Relations between porosity, damage, and bulk plasticity are examined in the context of
continuum damage and hyper-elastoplasticity of porous rocks. Attention is given to a …

The microstructure and phase analysis of TiB 2–B 4 C composite were investigated by the X-
ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) techniques, and the …

A new dimensionless relationship for analysis of ballistic penetration data is derived and
applied to polycrystalline ceramic materials. Targets consist of ceramic tiles backed by thick …

The formulation of large strain anisotropic hyper-elastoplasticity of geomaterials is
examined. Attention is given to the role of structure tensors (also called fabric tensors) …

A continuum model for lung parenchyma is constructed. The model describes the
thermomechanical response over a range of loading rates—from static to dynamic to shock …

A novel thermodynamic framework for the continuum mechanical response of nonlinear
solids is described. Large deformations, nonlinear hyperelasticity, viscoelasticity, and …
