Advanced Thermomechanical Modeling of Soft Matter Systems
This thesis deals with advanced thermomechanical modeling of complex soft matter systems, including polymers, gels, and biological tissues. It addresses a few fundamental limitations of classical theories, such as the ... -
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 ...
