Damage Occurrence under Dynamic Loading For Anisotropic Strain Rate Sensitive Materials

Model of fatigue damage in strain-rate-sensitive composite materials

An anisotropic tertiary creep damage constitutive model for anisotropic materials

When an anisotropic material is subject to creep conditions and a complex state of stress, an anisotropic creep damage behavior is observed. Previous research has focused on the anisotropic creep damage behavior of isotropic materials but few constitutive models have been developed for anisotropic creeping solids. This paper describes the development of a new anisotropic tertiary creep damage c...

Strain rate sensitivity of skin tissue under thermomechanical loading.

There have been limited studies addressing the thermally dependent mechanical properties of skin tissue, although this can contribute to a variety of medical applications. To address this, an experimental study on the tensile behaviour of pig skin tissue under different thermal loading conditions and different mechanical stretching rates was performed. The results indicate that there is a signi...

Microleakage of Endodontic Temporary Restorative Materials under Dynamic Loading

During endodontic treatment, it is important to create a fluid-tight seal in the access cavity in order to prevent marginal leakage and the ingress of oral fluids and microorganisms into the root canal. Nevertheless, temporary filling materials have received less attention than materials used for a permanent and prolonged use. However, they are an essential link in the chain that leads to disin...

Modelling anisotropic damage and permeability of mortar under dynamic loads

This paper deals with the development of a model for concrete subjected to dynamic loads. Shock waves are generated by Pulsed Arc Electro-hydraulic Discharges (PAED) in water and applied to mortar samples. A diphasic model (liquid water and vapour) is implemented in order to describe the electrical discharge and the propagation of shock waves in water. An anisotropic damage model is devised, wh...
