In this work the geometrical method for the analysis of the localization properties of the thermodynamically consistent gradient--dependent parabolic Drucker-Prager elastoplastic model is presented. From the analytical ...

The deformation and flow of disordered solids, such as metallic glasses and concentrated emulsions, involves swift localized rearrangements of particles that induce a long-range deformation field. To describe these ...

This work presents an experimental and numerical analysis of the mechanical behavior of a fixed-end SAE 1045 steel cylindrical specimen during the torsion test. To this end, an iterative numerical-experimental methodology ...

This paper presents a numerical formulation for a three dimensional elasto-plastic interface, which can be coupled with an embedded beam element in order to model its non-linear interaction with the surrounding solid medium. ...

This work aims at performing a numerical analysis on the indentation of elastoplastic materials. The simulations are carried out using the commercial finite element code Abaqus, employing an axisymmetric model. An important ...

An implicit/explicit integration scheme for non-linear constitutive models is presented. It aims at providing additional computability to those solid mechanics problems were robustness is an important issue, i.e. material ...

Yield stress fluids display complex dynamics, in particular when driveninto the transient regime between the solid and the flowing state. Inspired by creep experiments on dense amorphous materials, we implement mesoscale ...

This paper is aimed at studying the elastoplastic behavior of longitudinally stiffened girder webs subjected to patch loading and bending. The investigation is carried out by means of nonlinear finite element analysis to ...
