✦ Synopsis
A ®nite element formulation for solving transient multidimensional phase-change problems considering advective eects is presented. This temperature-based formulation includes the de®nition of a phase-change function able to deal with classical isothermal and non-isothermal phase-change cases. Moreover, a new upwind weight function is de®ned in order to avoid numerical oscillations in problems with dominant advective eects. Further, some important aspects related to its numerical implementation are also addressed. The ability of this methodology is illustrated, ®rstly, in the solution of a one-dimensional test example. Finally, the numerical simulation of a direct-chill continuous casting process is performed.

A two-dimensional ®nite element method is developed for large deformation plasticity. Principal axes are used for the description of the material behaviour, and the use of principal logarithmic stretches leads to exact formulae for ®nite deformation problems with large elastic and plastic strains.
