Analysis of Stability and Bifurcation in Nonlinear Mechanics with Dissipation

The analysis of stability and bifurcation is studied in nonlinear mechanics with dissipative mechanisms: plasticity, damage, fracture. The description is based on introduction of a set of internal variables. This framework allows a systematic description of the material behaviour via two potentials:...
