Non-Associative Plasticity and Fracture: Variational Formulation of Multi-Field Coupled Models KU Leuven
The field of continuum solid mechanics has seen a great deal of progress during the past century, allowing for substantial developments in several branches of engineering science. Most notably, many material models that describe inelastic material behavior are now available in the literature, mainly concerning (but not limited to) plasticity and damage. Moreover, enhanced continuum theories that describe strain localization are, by now, well ...
