Abstract: A uniaxial constitutive model for ice is developed in which the total strain is taken to be the sum of instantaneous elastic, delayed elastic, and viscous strain components. Nonlinear behavior of selected terms in the model ...

Abstract: A nonlinear phenomenological constitutive law for ice developed previously by the writers is implemented in a finite‐element procedure. The features of the iterative time‐stepping algorithm that are specific to this ...

Abstract: A constitutive model that incorporates material dilation and the concept of continuum damage mechanics is developed to predict ductile fracture of steel under monotonic quasi-static loading due to microvoids. In this model, ...
