A stabilized thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) finite element model is introduced to
investigate the freeze–thaw action of frozen porous media in the finite deformation range. By …

Dynamic fracture of metals is a fascinating multiphysics-multiscale problem that often results
in brittle and/or ductile fracture of structural components and under high strain rates may …

This paper describes a theoretical and computational framework for the treatment of
adiabatic shear band formation in rate-sensitive polycrystalline metallic materials. From a …

The phase-field method is a popular technique for modeling crack initiation, bifurcation and
coalescence without the need to explicitly track the crack surfaces. In this framework, the …

A local physical stability criterion for multidimensional fracture problems modeled by the
phase field method is developed and studied. Stability analysis provides a rigorous …

Shear localization is a damage mechanism characterized by the concentration of plastic
deformation within thin bands of materials, often observed as a precursor to failure in metals …

Intense research efforts have been made to understand the variation of strength with strain
rate, while the mechanisms governing the strain-rate dependence of hardness have been …

We present a computational framework for the treatment of shear localization in metallic
materials under dynamic loading, based on the integration of a shear band tracking strategy …

High strain rate loading of metals typically leads to material instabilities known as shear
bands. These are narrow bands of intense plastic deformation that weaken the load bearing …

This paper presents an investigation on the formation of adiabatic shear bands in metallic
sheets subjected to dynamic shear-compression loading under plane-stress conditions. For …
