Our paper titled "Lattice modeling of chloride diffusion in sound and cracked concrete" has been accepted for publication by Cement and Concrete Composites journal. It deals with numerical modeling of chloride transport coupled with fracture. Registered subscribers can download the paper at http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0958946513000899 .
Zanaboni Theory is mathematically analyzed in this paper. The conclusion is that Zanaboni Theorem is invalid and not a proof of Saint-Venant's Principle; Discrete Zanaboni Theorem and Zanaboni's energy decay are inconsistent with Saint-Venant's decay; the inconsistency, discussed here, between Zanaboni Theory and Saint-Venant's Principle provides more proofs that Saint-Venant's Principle is not generally true.

Abstract
Hello All:
I have written a UMAT code to predict the viscoelastic behaviour within a shape adaptive structure. I have followed similar steps used in Abaqus subroutine manual, I have applied this UMAT to a single quad element and it works as predicted. But when I apply it multiple elements model it breaks down.
Is there any special command i need to put in UMAT subroutine to account multi element analysis? I will appreciate all related comments,
Thanks
