Abstract: We examine the strain rate dependent, large plastic deformation in isotropic semi-crystalline polypropylene at room temperature. Constant strain rate uniaxial compression tests on cylindrical ...

Abstract: To analyze the formation of multiple shear bands in HY-100 steel, we consider an infinitely extended layer of finite thickness subjected to shear loading. The perturbation approach, associated ...

Abstract: In this paper, we discuss the application of different stress–optic laws for rubbers to predict the birefringence evolution and the stress–stretch relationship. The main focus of this work is ...

Abstract: In this paper, intermediate modeling of polycrystalline plasticity is proposed for rigid viscoplatic large deformations. This approach is based on the use of a bicrystal as the elementary local ...

Abstract: A microstructure design framework for multiscale modeling of wear resistance in bioimplant materials is presented here. The increase in service lifetime of arthroplasty depends on whether we can ...
