New two-part paper in Computational Mechanics

​We have a new two-part paper in Computational Mechanics published, which discusses variational consistency and efficient stabilized nodal integration (Part I) in two-field problems (thermo-elasticity and finite strain thermo-plasticity), and also using the hyperbolic thermo-mechanical theories (Part I) for time integration with a uniform O(h) time step in explicit dynamics, with results indistinguishable from the classical theory:
