It is well known that the strongly location-dependent microstructures observed in metal parts
made using additive manufacturing (AM) processes differ from those found in components …

Nanoporous materials find a wide range of applications spanning diverse disciplines. For
sufficiently small nanopores, surface effects must be accounted for in calculating …

Since early publications in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the finite volume method has
been shown suitable for solid mechanics analyses. At present, there are several flavours of …

The current work deals with periodic thermomechanical composite media, in which the
material constituents are considered to obey the generalized standard materials laws. The …

This paper critically examines the predictive capabilities of three computational approaches
for the elastic-plastic response of nanoporous materials with energetic surfaces simulated …

Elasto-plastic models for composites can be classified into three categories in terms of a
length scale, ie, macro scale, meso scale, and micro scale (micromechanics) models. In …

Since its advent in the 1960s, elastoplastic micromechanics has been confronted by
continuous challenges, as the classical incremental elastoplastic tangents are known to …

This article aims at proposing a new mean-field homogenization framework for the study of
composites undergoing fully coupled thermomechanical processes. Strongly dissipative …

The never-ending struggle to design new materials for supporting innovative engineering
requirements gives composites a worthy focus. This endeavor is challenged by the …

Thermomechanical Behavior of Dissipative Composite Materials presents theoretical and
numerical tools for studying materials and structures under fully coupled thermomechanical …
