A user material approach for the solution of multi-field problems in Abaqus : Theoretical foundations, gradient-enhanced damage mechanics and thermo-mechanical coupling
The solution of multi-field problems and the numerical implementation by means of the finite element method constitute a sophisticated part of the characterisation of industrial processes. A comprehensive implementation framework for such a system of coupled field equations into a non-linear large strain finite element formulation is provided. The procedure is derived for a micromorphic approach i
