We focus in this paper on a multiscale modeling approach of the materials’ reversible behavior involving couplings of the chemo-magneto-thermo-mechanical type. It is shown that it is possible to take into account a large variety of these coupled environments by a unified approach using the springs of the scale change and the build of an appropriate Gibbs free energy function. The approach is well suited to situations where some fields can be considered homogeneous at a relevant scale and where free deformation can be defined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations –citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
