A Thermodynamic Consistent Model for Coupled Strain Gradient Plasticity With Temperature
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The mechanical responses of small volume metallic compounds are addressed in this work through developing a nonlocal continuum theory. In this regard, a thermodynamicbased higherorder straingradient plasticity framework ...
Overview of Enhanced Continuum Theories for Thermal and Mechanical Responses of the Microsystems in the Fast Transient Process
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The recently growing demand for production and applications of microscale devices and systems has motivated research on the behavior of small volume materials. The computational models have become one of great interests ...
Higher-Order Thermomechanical Gradient Plasticity Model With Energetic and Dissipative Components
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)

Coupled Thermomechanical Modeling of Small Volume FCC Metals
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The mechanical and thermal behavior of small volume metallic compounds on the fast transient time are addressed in this work through developing a thermodynamically consistent nonlocal framework. In this regard, an enhanced ...
A Plasticity Model for Metals With Dependency on All the Stress Invariants
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Recent experiments on metals have shown that all of the stress invariants should be involved in the constitutive description of the material in plasticity. In this paper, a plasticity model for metals is defined for isotropic ...
Dynamic Localizations in HSLA 65 and DH 36 Structural Steel at Elevated Temperatures
