Development of ductile cementitious composites incorporating microencapsulated phase change materials

Submitted by shavijabranko on

Dear all,

Our group recently published an article on development of strain hardening cementitious composites incorporating phase change materials.

It is available at:

The abstract is given below:

Forward vs backward Euler for return algorithms

Submitted by Biswajit Banerjee on

In Part 5 of my series on return mapping for plane stress plasticity, I claim that the obsession with backward Euler is not justified if accuracy is important.  See http://www.parresianz.com/mechanics/plasticity/algorithm/plane-stress-drucker-prager-return-part-5/.

Let me know if you disagree and why.
