Slope failure near a reservoir area is mainly influenced by rainfall and reservoir water
fluctuation. This study provides insights into the deformation and failure process of the …

An elastoplastic constitutive model based on the Modified Cam Clay (MCC) model is
developed to describe the mechanical behaviour of soils cemented via microbially induced …

Horizontal cavern structures are discussed as a means to constructing energy storage
facilities in bedded salt formations. During their design, the spacing of injection and …

We present a wrapper that allows Abaqus user material subroutines (UMATs) to be used as
an External Material library in the software COMSOL Multiphysics. The wrapper, written in C …

This work is devoted to the modeling of the mechanical behavior of coated or uncoated
silicon nanoparticles, which constitute the anode active material in some lithium ion …

Extensive mine dumps consisting of loosely deposited sands have been created as a result
of open-pit lignite mining, with a risk of soil liquefaction under high water saturation and a …

A non-equilibrium statistical thermodynamics-based framework for describing elasto-
viscoplastic deformations in amorphous materials termed shear-transformation-zone (STZ) …

Motivated by the inability of classical computational plasticity to fully exploit modern scientific
computing, a multifield formulation for finite strain plasticity is presented. This avoids a local …

Natural phenomena such as seismicity, volcanism, and fluid circulation in volcanic areas are
influenced by the mechanical response of intact basalt. When subjected to a wide range of …

When a metal is loaded mechanically at elevated temperatures, its grain microstructure
evolves due to multiple physical mechanisms. Two of which are the curvature-driven …
