“…Multi-field coupling problems involving diffusion, chemical reaction and deformation processes extensively exist in such cases as curing of polymers (Mahnken, 2013;Sain et al, 2018;Klinge et al, 2012), oxidation of metals (Loeffel and Anand, 2011;Loeffel et al, 2013;Dong et al, 2018;Zhou et al, 2010;Wang et al, 2015), sulfate attack of concrete (Hou et al, 2019;Hu et al, 2014;Ikumi et al, 2014;Kuhl et al, 2004), corrosion of thermal barrier coatings (Xu et al, 2019;Wu et al, 2019;Mercer et al, 2005;Gledhill et al, 2011) and growth of biological tissues (Xue et al, 2017;Loret and Simões, 2005;Ambrosi et al, 2011). Modeling the diffusionreaction-deformation coupled process under various situations is of great importance in understanding the multi-field interaction mechanism of these problems (Yu and Shen, 2014;Zhang and Zhong, 2017a;Salvadori et al, 2018).…”
