• Fiber plasticity and loss of ellipticity in soft composites under non-monotonic loading 

      Fontenele F.F., Andarawis-Puri N., Agoras M., Bouklas N. (2022)
      In this work, we relate fiber plasticity in soft composites to the loss of ellipticity of the governing equations of equilibrium of a composite under non-monotonic uniaxial loading. The loss of ellipticity strongly indicates ...
    • Mechanics models for hydrogen embrittlement mechanisms 

      Liang, Y.; Sofronis, P.; Dodds Jr, R. H.; Aravas, N. (2005)
      Of the many suggestions of hydrogen-induced degradation of engineering materials, two mechanisms appear to be viable in non-hydride forming systems: hydrogen-enhanced localized plasticity (HELP) and hydrogeninduced decohesion. ...
