Simulations on representative particle geometries reveal that anisotropic diffusion and fracture energy alone can not initiate layer-parallel cracks, instead, layered delithiation pathways govern shape-dependent phase transition dynamics, while lattice mismatch from spatially heterogeneous phase transitions nucleates cracks preferentially at particle surfaces and drives their propagation along layered planes, in good agreement with experimental observations. Cubic particles with uniform layers form cracks prematurely, whereas spherical and octahedral particles—with shorter surface layers—delay crack initiation by 5.3% state of charge (SoC) due to retarded phase transition in central layers, thereby expanding the safe-charging window. Elevated charging rates accelerate central-layer phase transition, amplifying misfit and triggering earlier cracking, while reduced phase-transition eigenstrain or flatter aspect ratios mitigate stress concentrations and suppress damage.

While the mathematical merits of polyconvexity are clearly understood, its mechanical consequences have received less attention. In this contribution we contrast polyconvexity with the recently rediscovered true-stress-true-strain monotonicity (TSTS-M⁺⁺) condition. By way of explicit examples, we show that neither condition by itself is strong enough to guarantee physically reasonable behavior for ideal isotropic elasticity. In particular, polyconvexity does not imply a monotone trajectory of the Cauchy stress in unconstrained uniaxial extension which TSTS-M⁺⁺ ensures. On the other hand, TSTS-M⁺⁺ does not impose a monotone Cauchy shear stress response in simple shear which is enforced by Legendre-Hadamard ellipticity and in turn polyconvexity. Both scenarios are proven through the construction of appropriate strain-energy functions. Consequently, a combination of polyconvexity, ensuring Legendre-Hadamard ellipticity, and TSTS-M⁺⁺ seems to be a viable solution to Truesdell’s Hauptproblem. However, so far no isotropic strain-energy function has been identified that satisfies both constraints globally at the same time.

In the context of Continuum Mechanics, the majority of existing predictive methods are mechanism analogs which favor rigid folding and panel bending. While effective in predicting primary deformation modes, existing methods fall short in capturing the full spectrum of deformation of non-rigid foldable origami, such as the emergence of curvature along straight creases, local strain at vertices and warpage in panels. To fully capture the entire deformation spectrum and enhance the accuracy of existing methods, this paper introduces a homogenization framework for origami metamaterials where the faces are modeled as plate elements. Both asymptotic and energy-based homogenization methods are formulated and implemented. As a representative crease pattern, we examine the Miura origami sheet homogenized as an equivalent Kirchhoff-Love plate. The results reveal that certain effective elastic properties are nonlinearly related to both the initial fold angle and the crease stiffness. When benchmarked with results from fully resolved simulations, our framework yields errors up to 12.9%, while existing models, including the bar-and-hinge model and the rigid-panel model, show up to 161% error. The differences in errors are associated with the complex modes of crease and panel deformation in non-rigid origami, unexplored by the existing models.

This goal is pursued by analyzing the plane-strain response of two-phase laminates. In the context of this problem, the effect of fiber plasticity is accounted for by allowing the elastically stiffer layers (“fiber” phase) to also yield plastically and by taking the soft layers (“matrix” phase) to be purely elastic solids. The analysis is carried out at finite elastic and plastic strains, but it is restricted to unidirectional, non-monotonic loading paths, applied by initially increasing the macroscopic stretch along the direction of the layers up to a prescribed maximum value and then decreasing the same stretch down to a minimum value. A simple expression is derived for the critical conditions at which the homogenized behavior of the laminate loses strong ellipticity for the first time along the loading path. The relevance of this result stems from the fact that the loss of macroscopic ellipticity of these composites is known to coincide with the onset of bifurcations of the long-wavelength type. It follows from this result that, just like hyperelastic laminates, elastoplastic laminates may lose macroscopic ellipticity whenever their incremental strength in shear perpendicular to the layers vanishes for the first time. It is shown by means of specific numerical calculations that fiber plasticity has a softening effect on the critical shear strength of the laminate under monotonically increasing loading and a hardening effect under monotonically decreasing loading, whereas local elasticity has the opposite effects. Thus, the effects of local elasticity and fiber plasticity compete with each other at every stage of the deformation where both mechanisms are active and whether or not a specific laminate will lose its macroscopic ellipticity along a given loading path depends crucially on the relative strengths of these effects. In this regard, the influence of the relevant loading and material parameters is investigated in detail. For situations in which loss of macroscopic ellipticity does take place, a corresponding post-bifurcation solution for the homogenized behavior of the laminate is computed. The deformed state of the material described by this solution is characterized by twin lamellar domains that are formed at a length scale much larger than the width of the original, microscopic layers, but still much smaller than the overall dimensions of the macroscopic specimen under consideration. The macroscopic response of these composites is found to be much softer along the bifurcated equilibrium path than along the corresponding principal path. Nevertheless, no macroscopic unloading has been observed in the post-bifurcation regime, indicating accordingly that the macroscopic, post-bifurcation behavior of these materials is stable.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17331,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Mechanics and Physics of Solids","volume":"209 ","pages":"Article 106482"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145845102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is surprisingly found that shear bands emerge well before the stress-strain curve peak and exhibit a distinctive nanoscale morphology, in sharp contrast to traditional consensus. Precise microstructural characterization reveals that these bands originate from discrete stacking faults, where atomic-scale dilatation at their tips reduces shear deformation resistance and triggers configurational softening. To disentangle and quantify the competing effect between thermal softening and configurational softening, we develop a non-equilibrium two-temperature continuum plastic flow model.

Linear projection-based reduced-order models (ROMs) are widely used to accelerate these simulations but often fail to capture complex nonlinear damage evolution effectively. This limitation arises from the slow decay of the Kolmogorov <em>n</em>-width, which leads to a phenomenon known as the Kolmogorov barrier in linear approximation. To overcome this challenge, this study proposes a novel unified multi-perspective (multi-field and multi-state) quadratic manifold-based ROM framework for thermo-mechanically coupled damage-plasticity problems. A key feature lies in a multi-field and multi-state decomposition strategy that is grounded in the material’s physical response to guide the selection of mode numbers for each coupled field. Moreover, the framework decouples both material states and physical fields, providing clearer insights into the contributions and interactions of each field within the overall multiphysics simulation. Benchmark tests demonstrate that the proposed approach mitigates the Kolmogorov barrier of linear projection-based ROMs by ensuring a smooth and monotonic decrease in error as the number of modes increases.
