Constitutive modeling of the thermo-mechanics associated with crystallizable shape memory polymers
… in polymers and is based on the theory of multiple natural configurations. Using the same frame work, the melting of the crystalline phase to capture the return of the polymer to its original shape is also modeled. The developed models are used to simulate a range of boundary value problems …

Constitutive modeling of glassy memory polymers
… is that a body can exist stress free in numerous natural configurations, the underlying natural configuration of the body changing during the process, with the response of the body being elastic from these evolving natural configurations. The aim of this research is to formulate a constitutive …

Simulation of creep in nickel based single crystal superalloys
… A framework, built on the idea of evolving of natural configurations, utilizing the maximization of the rate of dissipation, has been used to formulate the model. The specific model is constructed by specifying forms of the stored energy and the rate of dissipation. The reduced …
