...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 progressive damage in the bar problem above. Let us assume that the intermediate element is subject to progressive damage leading to full erosion and let us examine how the constitutive damage process affects the positiveness of the serial bar structure. Under material damage we understand progressive...

...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...
