...Antonio Carcaterra; Adnan Akay A loss-free harmonic oscillator when treated as the working substance in a cylinder with a piston exhibits dissipation characterized by hysteresis cycles. Dissipation in this case develops through conversion of potential energy of the springs and part of the work...

...Alan Needleman The requirement of a non-negative dissipation rate for all possible deformation histories is generally imposed on plastic constitutive relations. This is a constraint analogous to the Coleman–Noll [Coleman, B. D., and Noll, W., 1964, “The Thermodynamics of Elastic Materials With Heat...

... and energy dissipation is carried out for a three-point-supported layered plate on the Winker foundation. Our numerical investigations show that the hardcover, friction, and substrate have a great influence on bending response, and in particular, the friction can cause a considerable amount of energy...

... provides the largest amplitude of displacement, followed by the poroelastodynamics and dual-porosity poroelastodynamics solution. This is because of the dissipation caused by the presence of both fluid and fractures. Suppose that the naturally fractured rock is saturated with water. We have μ 0...

...Bernhard Pichler; Luc Dormieux This paper deals with the dissipation associated with quasistatic microcracking of brittle materials exhibiting softening behavior. For this purpose an elastodamaging cohesive zone model is used, in which cohesive tractions decrease (during crack propagation...
