A coupled elastoplastic-damage constitutive model taking into account chemo-induced elastoplastic-damage effects for the modeling of coupled chemothermo-hygro-mechanical behavior of concretes at high temperature is proposed in this article. A three-step operator split algorithm for the integration of the rate coupled constitutive equations is developed. Consistent tangent modulus matrices for c...

in this study, forced-vibration analysis of a coupled system of single layered graphene sheets (slgss) subjected to the moving nano-particle is carried out based on nonlocal elasticity theory of orthotropic plate. two slgss are coupled with elastic medium which is simulated by pasternak and visco-pasternak models. using hamilton’s principle, governing differential equations of motion are derive...

A coupled thermal, hydrologic and mechanical (THM) analysis is conducted to evaluate the impact of coupled THM processes on the performance of a potential nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. The analysis considers changes in rock mass porosity, permeability, and capillary pressure caused by rock deformations during drift excavation, as well as those caused by thermomechanically ...

this paper presents theoretical and numerical state-of-the-art information in the field of hygro-thermo-mechanical deformation simulation in structural concrete. the aspects discussed include coupled hygro-thermo-mechanical performance of porous materials including concrete, multi-scale simulation of concrete properties especially the volumetric and structural deformation performance, and the m...

In this work, we study the existence of coupled bandgaps for corrugated plate structures and acoustic channels. The study is motivated by the observation that the performance of traditional bandgap structures, such as periodic plates, may be compromised due to the coupling to a surrounding acoustic medium and the presence of acoustic resonances. It is demonstrated that corrugation of the plate ...

This study analyses the response of compacted bentonites upon hydration based on a coupled hydro-mechanical elasto-plastic framework. As an alternative to multi-porosity interpretation, framework was selected experimental evidence adsorbed water behaviour in and volumetric at saturated states, apparently independent its initial state. Based these premises, retention model formulated using expli...
