Micropipette aspiration (MA) technique has been widely used to measure the viscoelastic properties of different cell types. Cells experience nonlinear large deformations during the aspiration procedure. Neo-Hookean viscohyperelastic (NHVH) incompressible and compressible models were used to simulate the creep behavior of cells in MA, particularly accounting for the effect of compressibility, bu...

Abstract The paper presents a new multi-material topology optimization method with novel adjoint sensitivity analysis that can accommodate not only multiple plasticity but also hardening models for individual materials in composite structures. Based on the proposed method, an integrated framework is developed which details nonlinear finite element analysis, and procedure. are implemented illust...

In the present paper, we investigate a mathematical model for an induction hardening process of steel workpiece. We describe electromagnetic by eddy current equations, which are coupled with energy balance in workpiece via heat equation and kinetic phase transition. The nonlinearities system caused nonlinear relation between magnetic field, together conduction Joule heating. propose time discre...

Defenders concerned about protecting multiple targets can either protect them individually (through target hardening), or collectively (through overarching protections such as border security, public health, emergency response, or intelligence). Decision makers may find it relatively straightforward to choose which targets to harden, but are likely to find it more difficult to compare seemingly...

In this paper we present efficient parallel implementation of solvers for elastoplastic problems based on the so-called Total Finite Element Tearing and Interconnecting (TFETI) domain decomposition method. We propose a set of numerical experiments to illustrate effectivity of the presented solvers. We consider an associated elastoplastic model with the von Misses plastic criterion and the isotr...

2014 Work hardening of fcc metals and diamond structure crystals is considered in a cell model. Depending on stacking fault energy and temperature dynamic recovery can occur by cross slip or climb. The remaining dislocations cause a rehardening stage IV of two different origins and in two temperature ranges before the other dynamic recovery mechanism terminates work hardening. J. Phys. France 5...

In this work, the initial anisotropy and its evolution with strain, hardening and rupture of DC04 mild steel are characterized by using (i) a phenomenological constitutive model composed by the non-quadratic Yld2004-18p yield criterion combined with an isotropic hardening law and (ii) a macroscopic rupture criterion. For this purpose, an inverse methodology of material parameters identification...

The properties of the prosthetic components prescribed to amputees have the potential to ameliorate or exacerbate their comfort, mobility, and health. To measure the difference in heel-region structural properties of currently available prosthetic feet and shoes, we simulated the period of initial heel-ground contact with a pendulum apparatus. The energy dissipation capacity of the various pros...

This paper proposes a framework for the constitutive model based on the semi-micromechanical aspects of plasticity, including damage progress for simulating behavior of concrete under multiaxial loading. This model is aimed to be used in plastic and fracture analysis of both regular and reinforced concrete structures, for the framework of sample plane crack approach. This model uses multilamina...

Plastic anisotropy may strongly affect the stress and strain response in metals subjected to multiaxial cyclic loading. This evolves due various microstructural features. We first use simple models study how such features result evolving plastic anisotropy. A subsequent analysis of existing distortional hardening highlights difference between stress- strain-driven models. Following this analysi...
