Non-linear multiphysics modeling of ionic gels
The paper presents a thermodynamically consistent modeling of the non-linear multiphysics of ionic polymer gels based on the multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient. In particular, the deformations induced by the motion of ions under an applied voltage are viewed as distortions, similarly to growth-induced deformations in soft tissues. Furthermore, a consistent linearization of the model in the regime of small deformations is discussed. Finally, a finite element implementation of the theory is introduced and validated against experimental results.

Nonconservative Stability Problems of Modern Physics
This monograph gives a complete overview on the subject of nonconservative stability from the modern point of view. Relevant mathematical concepts are presented, as well as rigorous stability results and numerous classical and contemporary examples from mechanics and physics.
Power-law hereditariness of Hierarchical Fractal Bones
In this paper the authors introduce a hierarchic fractal model
to describe bone hereditariness. Indeed, experimental data of stress
relaxation or creep functions obtained by compressive/tensile tests have
