This work presents the development and implementation of a coupled isotropic phase field
fracture and viscoelastic computational model to simulate the fracture of freshwater …

In previous publications by the authors (Zobeiry et al., 2006; Zobeiry et al., 2010), a
differential form of viscoelasticity was presented as an efficient approach for modelling the …

The generalised Maxwell (GM) model and generalised Kelvin (GK) model are widely used in
characterising the linear viscoelastic (LVE) properties of asphalt concrete. Traditionally, the …

The linear viscoelasticity is still a useful model in the engineering for studying the behavior
of materials loaded with different loading rates (frequencies). Certain types of materials …

In this paper, an incremental finite element model (IFEM) for the transient analysis of
viscoelastic solids is developed. The viscoelastic constitutive response is modeled based on …

In most simulations of gas production from shale reservoirs, only the elastic deformation of
reservoir rock and fractures is modeled. However, many experimental studies and field …

Vaginal delivery causes significant stretching of the vagina and surrounding muscles,
potentially leading to the development of pelvic floor disorders and other maternal …

Creep and stress relaxation of steel cables caused by long-term loads will affect the
mechanical behavior of tensile structures. A creep experiment of small-diameter steel cables …

This paper presents a layerwise finite element formulation for quasi-static analysis of
laminated structures with embedded viscoelastic material whose constitutive behavior is …

This study proposes a procedure for determining the viscoelastic responses of multilayered
asphalt pavements. A computer code is developed to determine the elastic responses of …
