Coupled damage and plasticity models derived from energy and dissipation potentials

TL;DR: In this article, a physically-based constitutive model describing the nonisothermal strain-induced crystallization of natural rubber is proposed, and the spatial arrangement of polymer subnetworks is driven by crystallization nucleation and consequently alters the mesoscopic deformation measures.

TL;DR: By specifying the coupling between damage and plasticity in the dissipation function, a single generalised loading function that controls the simultaneous evolution of these dissipative mechanisms is obtained and can be readily used for either enriching existing plasticity models with damage, or for the developments of new coupled damage-plasticity models

TL;DR: In this paper, a thermodynamics-based constitutive model for describing the macro-mechanical behavior of porous rocks is presented, based on generalised thermodynamics, or thermodynamics with internal variables (TIV), to guarantee the thermodynamics admissibility of the results.

TL;DR: The analysis of more than 600 experimental results allowed for determining a unified mechanothermodynamical function of limiting states (critical according to damageability) of polymers and metals.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new plastic-damage model for concrete subjected to cyclic loading is developed using the concepts of fracture-energy-based damage and stiffness degradation in continuum damage mechanics.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a detailed analysis of the physical properties of the solid state and damage, including elasticity, deformation, shrinkage, and elasticity of the material.

TL;DR: In this article, a new normalizing parameter called the void index is introduced to aid in correlating the compression characteristics of various clays, such as sedimentation compression curves for most, but not all, natural clays lie well above the corresponding intrinsic compression curves.

TL;DR: In this article, a dual framework for elastic cap damage was proposed, where a strain-and a stress-based approach was employed, and a viscous regularization of strain-based, rate-independent damage models was also developed.
