This work develops new minimization and saddle point principles for the coupled problem of
Darcy–Biot-type fluid transport in porous media at fracture. It shows that the quasi-static …

The aim of this book is to understand and describe the martensitic phase transformation and
the process of martensite platelet reorientation. These two key elements enable the author to …

Phase-field methods to regularize sharp interfaces represent a well established technique
nowadays. In fracture mechanics, recent works have shown the capability of the method for …

A biomechanical model for traumatic brain injury and soft tissue damage is presented. A
variational constitutive model for soft biological tissues is utilized to reproduce axonal …

Peridynamics has gained significant attention as an alternative formulation for problems in
solid mechanics. Recent contributions have included initial attempts to include material …

We study the evolution of systems described by internal variables. After the introduction of
thermodynamic forces and fluxes, both the dissipation and dissipation potential are defined …

We present an experimental validation of the variational theory of thermo-mechanical
coupling of Yang et al.(2006) in the case of finite thermo-visco-plasticity. The variational …

We present a thermodynamic scheme to capture the variability of the Taylor–Quinney
coefficient in austenitic steels showing strain induced martensitic transformation at high …

In this study, we aim at investigating the coupling between poroelasticity (including the fluid
flow) and gradient damage phenomena in saturated porous media. To this end, we first …

A thermo-visco-hyperelastic constitutive model, in accordance with the second
thermodynamics principle, is formulated to describe the self-heating evolution in elastomeric …
