Degradation, damage evolution, and fatigue models in the literature for various engineering
materials, mostly metals and composites, are reviewed. For empirical models established …

We propose two fractional-order models for uniaxial large strains and visco-elasto-plastic
behavior of materials in structural analysis. Fractional modeling seamlessly interpolates …

A truly meshfree radial point interpolation method (RPIM) for analysis of viscoplastic
problems is presented. Without recourse to any background cell, a fast and accurate …

Rubber industry plays an important part in various application fields and particle-filled
rubbers with reinforced mechanical properties are very essential. The stress softening …

Die Anstrengungen zur Reduktion der Herstellungskosten und zur Erhöhung der
Produktqualität führen dazu, dass Firmen kommerzielle Berechnungsprogramme und …

This paper aims to present a viscoelastic constitutive model of rubber-like materials, which
can capture the Payne effect under dynamic cyclic loadings. The Payne effect is induced by …

Application of optimization techniques to the identification of inelastic material parameters
has substantially increased in recent years. The complex stress–strain paths and high …

In this work, the effect of healing process on the damage recovery and delaying the
permanent deformation in smart asphalt pavements is numerically studied. In order to …

In this article, a rate-dependent elastoplastic-damage constitutive model considering the
effect of strain rate has been developed. The derivation of this model has been established …

The use of simple bar elements in nonlinear structural finite element formulations has the
academic advantage of uncoupling element technology issues from the structural …
