Constitutive Theories for Polymers Using Non-Classical Continuum Mechanics
This thesis is on the development of a few constitutive theories characterising the thermo-mechanical response of polymers. In proposing the theories, some aspects of non-classical continuum mechanics are used. The first ... -
Nonlocal continuum models for plasticity and damage
Nonlocal interactions of material points play a vital role in modelling certain important aspects of inelastic phenomena such as plasticity and damage in solids. For plasticity problems, nonlocal interactions allow ... -
Uncertainty Quantification in Flow and Flow Induced Structural Response
(2018-07-23)Response of flexible structures — such as cable-supported bridges and aircraft wings — is associated with a number of uncertainties in structural and flow parameters. This thesis is aimed at efficient uncertainty quantification ...
