Dynamic Plasticity discusses the problems encountered in the theory of dynamic
deformation of plastic bodies. The book describes one-dimensional problems involving a …

This is a survey of the interesting phenomenology and the prominent regimes of granular
flow, followed by a unified mathematical synthesis of continuum modeling. The unification is …

This paper develops a modeling method with an incremental stress–strain–environment
constitutive model to predict the change in the plastic mechanical behavior of concrete …

An elasto‐plastic material model is proposed that can be used to simulate the cyclic
deterioration of railway tracks. The model describes the envelope of the irreversible, plastic …

A continuum mechanics-based viscodamage (VD) constitutive relationship is proposed to
model fatigue damage of asphalt concrete. The form for the evolution of the viscodamage …

When subjected to cyclic creep (ratcheting) loading with rest periods between the loading
cycles, the viscoplastic behavior of asphaltic materials changes such the rate of …

Cracking in thermal barrier coatings (TBC) is triggered by the development of a thermally-
grown oxide (TGO) layer that develops during thermal cycling from the oxidation of …

The present work aims to improve the reliability of shield jamming and lining damage risk
assessment in squeezing ground by analysing the effects of creep on the evolution of rock …

This contribution deals with the modelling of reinforced concrete (RC) structures in the
context of progressive collapse simulations. One-dimensional nonlinear constitutive laws …

An understanding of instantaneous and long‐term compaction of porous rocks is important
for reservoir engineering and Earth sciences. Experience from laboratory triaxial …
