The mechanically based non-local elasticity has been used, recently, in wider and wider
engineering applications involving small-size devices and/or materials with marked …

The plastic component of the deformation gradient plays a central role in finite kinematic
models of plasticity. However, its characterization has been the source of extended debates …

A framework for carrying out finite deformation discrete dislocation plasticity calculations is
presented. The discrete dislocations are presumed to be adequately represented by the …

The anomalous transport of a viscous fluid across a porous media with power-law scaling of
the geometrical features of the pores is dealt with in the paper. It has been shown that …

In this paper we provide a proof of the multiplicative kinematic description of crystal
elastoplasticity in the setting of large deformations, ie F= F e F p, for a two dimensional …

Structured deformations are used to refine the basic ingredients of continuum field theories
and to derive a system of field equations for elastic bodies undergoing submacroscopically …

Complex mechanical behaviours are generally met in macroscopically homogeneous media
as effects of inelastic responses or as results of unconventional material properties, which …

This chapter surveys fundamental aspects of the modern theory of finite elastoplasticity. We
emphasize the now-ubiquitous decomposition of the deformation into elastic and plastic …

This article provides a multiscale justification of the multiplicative decomposition F= F e F p
for three-dimensional elasto-plastic deformations, and sets its limits of applicability via a …

An energy for first-order structured deformations in the context of periodic homogenization is
obtained. This energy, defined in principle by relaxation of an initial energy of integral-type …
