In this paper, the necessary and sufficient conditions for fulfilling the thermodynamic consistency of computational homogenization schemes in the framework of hierarchical multiscale theories are defined. The proposal is ...

In this work, a general thermodynamically consistent theory is proposed for multiscale homogenization procedures of saturated and dissipative porous media involving multiphysical complexities. The proposal allows the ...

A multiscale framework for thermo-mechanical analysis with phase transformations is proposed in this work. The formulation covers those cases including coupled constitutive equations for simulating thermo-mechanical processes ...

A gradient plasticity theory is extended to predict the mechanical failure behavior of concrete with recycled aggregates. A relevant feature of the novel constitutive formulation is its full consistency with the thermodynamic ...

A thermodynamic consistency of isothermal vapor-liquid equilibrium data for 9 non-polar and 8 polar binary asymmetric mixtures at high pressures has been evaluated. A method based on the isothermal Gibbs-Duhem equation was ...

A thermodynamic method to check the consistency of phase equilibrium data developed by the authors and applied to several situations by different researchers is analyzed to determine the effect of the equation of state ...

A general thermodynamic consistency test is applied to analyze phase equilibrium data (TPxy data) for binary water + congener mixtures found in alcoholic distillation processes. The congeners, substances that are present ...
