1. Modeling and simulation of electro-viscoelastic polymers
Abstract : The electroactive polymer materials considered in this work react to electric stimuli by producing deformations. In some cases, the electrically induced deformations are moderate, while in other cases they can be very large and the specimen is stretched to more than twice its original length. READ MORE

2. Simulation of additive manufacturing using a mechanism based plasticity model
Abstract : This thesis presents finite element (FE) simulations of additive manufacturing (AM) and physically based material modeling of alloy 625 and alloy 718. In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in AM and there has been a dramatic increase in publications in the field. READ MORE

3. Modeling of coupled thermoplasticity at finite strains
Abstract : In this thesis, models for simulation of inelastic phenomena, such as plastic anisotropy, texture evolution, void growth and phase transformation are presented. Special emphasized is put on the modeling of heat generation due to plastic work. All models are formulated within a thermodynamic framework that allows large deformations. READ MORE

4. On the Modelling of Fracture Using Strong Discontinuities
Abstract : The major concern of this work is the constitutive and numerical modelling of fracture,based on strong discontinuity formulations. More particularly, an extended finiteelement approach is used, where the total displacement is separated in two mutuallyindependent fields, representing the continuous and discontinuous displacement respectively.

5. Alternatives for Finite Element Analysis of Blade Forging
Abstract : This thesis is a theoretical and numerical study of the weaknesses and capabilities of alternative finite element procedures for simulation of the blade forging problem and also an analysis of the practical aspects of that process. An overview is presented of the finite element method for non-linear problems with elastoplastic constitutive relations, focusing on quasistatic implicit and dynamic explicit approaches. READ MORE
