TL;DR: In this paper, a continuum plasticity model for metals is presented from considerations of non-equilibrium thermodynamics, which is accomplished in a two-temperature framework that appears naturally by considering the thermodynamic system to be composed of two weakly interacting subsystems, viz. a kinetic vibrational subsystem corresponding to the atomic lattice vibrations and a configurational subsystem of the slower degrees of freedom describing the motion of defects in a plastically deforming metal.

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that it is possible to model the elasto-plastic behavior of an inextensible beam undergoing finite bending by using a novel implicit rate type response relation directly between the bending moment, curvature, and their rates.

TL;DR: In this paper, a parametric evaluation of the material properties of the cellular components on the viscoelastic, stress-relaxation response during AFM indentation is performed.

TL;DR: In this article, a weak form Galerkin finite element model for the nonlinear quasi-static and fully transient analysis of initially straight viscoelastic beams is developed using the kinematic assumptions of the third-order Reddy beam theory.
