The methodology does not require the introduction of gradients of the internal variable in the free energy. Elements of a generalized damage model with porosity as the internal variable are developed as an example.</font> </p> <br class="clear" /> http://imechanica.org/node/2034#comments research continuum thermomechanics damage Mon, 01 Oct 2007 17:18:02 -0400 Amit Acharya 2034 at http://imechanica.org
