...Y. Ichikawa; K. Kawamura; N. Fujii; Theramast Nattavut Materials commonly involve microstructure. Clay is a microinhomogeneous material with nanoscale microstructure. Key issues to understand the behavior of such a finely microinhomogeneous material are as follows: the microstructure...

... of material damage on the different partitions and on the corresponding contributions to the determinant according to the Schur theorem. It depicts the importance of separating the degrees of freedom associated with damage and its partition K ₁₁ from the intact stiffness K ₂₂. It also...

...Ai Kah Soh A procedure for developing bi‐material elements, which are able to eliminate the weakness of the conventional finite elements in determining the stress distributions along fibre‐matrix interfaces, has been proposed. The results obtained by these bi‐material elements are in good agreement...

...M. Kaliske; H. Rothert Derives a formulation for spatial stress tensors and spatial material tensors of hyperelastic material. Looks at a class of materials with the strain energy function decomposed into a volumetric and a deviatoric part. Separate terms formulate the strain energy with respect...
