Nonlocal model for size effect in quasibrittle failure based on extreme value statistics
A nonlocal generalization of Weibull theory is presented to predict the probability of failure of unnotched structures that reach the maximum load before a large crack forms, as is typical of the test of modulus of rupture. The probability of failure at a material point is assumed to be a power function of the average strain in the neighborhood of that point. For normal sizes, the deterministic...
متن کاملNonlocal microplane model with strain - softening yield limits
The paper deals with the problem of nonlocal generalization of constitutive models such as microplane model M4 for concrete, in which the yield limits, called stress–strain boundaries, are softening functions of the total strain. Such constitutive models call for a different nonlocal generalization than those for continuum damage mechanics, in which the total strain is reversible, or for plasti...
متن کاملSpectral Stiffness Microplane Model for Quasibrittle Composite Laminates—Part I: Theory
The paper presents the spectral stiffness microplane model, which is a general constitutive model for unidirectional composite laminates, able to simulate the orthotropic stiffness, prepeak nonlinearity, failure envelopes, and, in tandem with the material characteristic length, also the post-peak softening and fracture. The framework of the microplane model is adopted. The model exploits the sp...
متن کاملEstimating Parameters of Microplane Material Model Using Soft Computing Methods
1. Abstract The material model M4 for concrete based on a microplane paradigm [1] is a realistic but very complex model with a large number of phenomenological constitutive parameters, which are rather difficult to determine from experiments. In addition, high computational complexity and non-smoothness of the model response prohibits the use of traditional deterministic optimization methods to...
متن کاملProbabilistic Nonlocal Theory for Quasibrittle Fracture Initiation
The nonlocal probabilistic theory developed in Part I is applied in numerical studies of plain concrete beams and is compared to the existing test data on the modulus of rupture. For normal size test beams, the deterministic theory is found to dominate and give adequate predictions for the mean. But the present probabilistic theory can further provide the standard deviation and the entire proba...
