In a recent publication, an approach to optimize the orientation of anisotropic materials was
presented. This strategy was embedded into the thermodynamic topology optimization …

A gradient-enhanced ductile damage model at finite strains is presented, and its parameters
are identified so as to match the behaviour of DP800. Within the micromorphic framework, a …

We present a dynamic modeling technique for brittle fracture based on a novel nonlocal
damage model. The formulation of our developed damage theory is based on the earlier …

This paper presents an algorithm for the efficient simulation of ductile crack propagation
through heterogeneous structures, as eg metallic microstructures, which are given as voxel …

The modeling of damage processes in materials constitutes an ill‐posed mathematical
problem which manifests in mesh‐dependent finite element results. The loss of ellipticity of …

An established strategy for material modeling is provided by energy-based principles such
that evolution equations in terms of ordinary differential equations can be derived. However …

In this paper, a framework for the simulation of crack propagation in brittle and ductile
materials is proposed. The framework is derived by extending the eigenerosion approach of …

A novel finite element formulation for gradient-regularized damage models is presented
which allows for the robust, efficient, and mesh-independent simulation of damage …

A strategy for tension/compression anisotropy enhancement of topology optimization
approaches is presented. To this end, a spectral decomposition of stresses and strains into …

Membranes in proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) stacks are exposed
to severe mechanical stress due to mechanical compression. Particularly critical is the gap …
