In this minisymposium, latest developments related to the mechanics of dissipative solids will be discussed with a special focus on plasticity, fracture and damage mechanics. The considered problems include local and gradient- extended models of phenomenologically based and crystal plasticity, brittle-to-ductile failure mode transition, crack propagation in inelastic solids and phase-field modeling of fracture in multi-physics problems. The goal is to address new constitutive models formulated on both the phenomenological and the micro-mechanical basis and examine their validity by comparison of simulations with experiments.
