Progressive Damage Analysis of Laminated Composites using Continuum Damage Mechanics
In this paper, progressive damage and global failure of composite laminates under quasi-static, monotonic loading are investigated using 3D continuum damage mechanics. For this purpose, a finite element program has been developed using an eight-node 2D layered element including layer-wise plate theory. Damage analysis of a single orthotropic layer under various uniform in-plane and transverse l...
متن کاملNonlocal Models in Continuum Mechanics
The recent appearance of nonlocal methods is examined in the light of traditional continuum mechanics. A comparison of nonlocal approaches in the fields of solid and fluid mechanics reveals that no consistent definition of a nonlocal theory has been used. We suggest a definition based on the violation of the principle of local action in continuum mechanics. From the consideration of the implica...
متن کاملA numerical investigation of surface crevasse propagation in glaciers using nonlocal continuum damage mechanics
[1] We use a nonlocal viscoelastic damage model to investigate the conditions that enable water-free surface crevasse propagation in grounded marine-terminating glaciers. Our simulations, on idealized rectangular ice slabs in contact with the ocean, show that crevasses propagate faster in thicker ice slabs. We find that: (1) the fraction of ice slab thickness penetrated by surface crevasses dec...
متن کاملDamage Assessment using an Inverse Fracture Mechanics approach
This paper studies the application of an inverse methodology for problem solving in fracture mechanics using the finite element analysis. The method was applied to both detection of subsurface cracks and the study of propagating cracks. The procedure for detection of subsurface cracks uses a first order optimization analysis coupled with a penalty function to solve for the unknown geometric par...
متن کاملDamage and Fracture Mechanics
Interfaces between two different mixes or strengths of concrete appear in large concrete structures involving mass concreting such as dams, nuclear containment vessels, cooling towers etc., since joints between successive lifts are inevitable. These joints and interfaces are potential sites for crack formation, leading to weakening of mechanical strength and subsequent failure. Research involvi...
