Rate independent processes in viscous solids

Publication at Faculty of Mathematics and Physics |

Abstract

Coupling of rate-independent processes with rate-dependent ones (and thus so-called energetic solutions with weak solutions) is illustrated on so-called generalized standard solids (of Halphen-Nguen type) at small strains. The former processes may involve plasticity, damage, or phase transformations, while the considered rate dependent phenomena are viscosity and possibly also inertia.
