A viscoplastic consistency condition is incorporated into the traditional viscoplastic rate format with two objectives in mind: (i) to develop a tangential material operator for rate sensitive behavior similarly to rate ...

In this work, a new rate-dependent interface model for computational analysis of quasi-brittle materials like concrete is presented. The model is formulated on the basis of the inviscid elastoplastic model by [Carol, I., ...

The uplift and evolution of a noncollisional orogen developed along a subduction zone, such as the Andean system, is a direct consequence of the interrelation between plate tectonic stresses and erosion. Tectonic stresses ...

It has been experimentally observed that the Zn-Cu-Ti zinc alloy shows a strong influence of strain rate and temperature on its plastic behavior. A significant change in the material response is seen with relatively small ...

This paper proposes a model aimed at simulating the strain-rate effect in Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) strips glued to concrete. More specifically, the loading rate-dependent bond mechanisms are evaluated by extending a ...

The time varying intensity character of a load applied to a structure poses many difficulties in analysis. A remedy to this situation is to substitute a complex pulse shape by a rectangular equivalent one. It has been shown ...
