Abstract
This paper presents the model based on the theory of multicomponent media that allows modelling of rebar corrosion processes. The presented model extends and consolidates the dissertations that have been described in the papers [8-10]. The aim of the present work is a creation of the model consistent with the thermodynamics of multicomponent media with internal parameters, allowing description and numerical modelling of reinforced concrete structures degradation as the result of corrosion by using FEM.

Analysis of the melting, burning and flame spread of polymers with the particle finite element method
A computational procedure for analysis of the melting, burning and flame spread of polymers under fire conditions is presented. The method, termed particle finite element method (PFEM), combines concepts from particle-ba...
A distributed implementation of parallel genetic algorithm for slope stability evaluation. (Received in the final form October 13, 2010)
Parallel processing, the method of considering many small tasks to solve one large problem, has emerged as a key enabling technology in modern computing. Parallel computers can be simply classified into shared memory sys...
Identification of an equivalent model for granular soils by FEM/NMM/p-EMP hybrid system
The application of FEM/NMM/p-EMP computational hybrid system in formulation of the Neural Material Model (NMM) for granular soils is presented. NMM is a Multi Layer Preceptron formulated 'on-line'. The cumulative algorit...
