Abstract: Two algorithms for the stress update (i.e., time integration of the constitutive equation) in large-strain solid mechanics are discussed, with particular emphasis on two issues: (1) The incremental objectivity; and (2) the ...

Abstract: The behavior of two stress update algorithms for shear-free large deformation paths is analyzed. The first algorithm has a truncation error of order 1. The second algorithm has a truncation error of order 2. As a consequence, ...

Abstract: In materials with a strain‐softening characteristic behavior, classical continuum mechanics favors uncontrolled strain localization in numerical analyses. Several methods have been proposed to regularize the problem. Two ...

Abstract: The homogeneous surface diffusion model (HSDM) is widely used for adsorption modeling of aqueous solutions. The Biot number is usually used to characterize model behavior. However, some limitations of this characterization ...

Abstract: A one‐dimensional mathematical model based on finitestrain theory is developed to solve the problem of seepage‐induced consolidation in sedimented slurries or very soft clays. The direct solution employs known or assumed ...
