Classically, the constitutive behavior of materials is described either phenomenologically, or
by homogenization approaches. Phenomenological approaches are computationally very …

We propose a new phase-field damage formulation which takes into account anisotropic
damage evolution in solids. Such anisotropy projects itself in fracture energy values which …

The objective of the present paper is to develop a thermodynamically consistent coupled
damage-plasticity model at large deformations, which accounts for damage anisotropy …

The manufacturing process of Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) influences the properties of
a component in a non-deterministic fashion. To predict this influence on the mechanical …

The idea of the paper is to apply the well established structural tensors approach to complex
inelastic material modeling in the finite strain regime. Using this concept, a very general and …

This work presents a computational nonlinear homogenization approach, the starting point
of which is a model order reduction method based on data-clustering. To this end, the …

Exploring the bonding mechanisms within bimetallic composite plates throughout the cold
rolling process poses a considerable challenge, especially in simulating the bonding …

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

The paper presents a general gradient-extended continuum mechanical framework for
materials with internal variables based on additional generalized balance equations. The …

This work presents an introduction to popular damage and fracture models along with the
major breakthroughs and the current state of the art. The theoretical and computational …
