Threshold-based quasi-static brittle damage evolution
We introduce models for static and quasi-static damage in elastic materials, based on a strain threshold, and then investigate the relationship between these threshold models and the energy-based models introduced in [17] and [15]. A somewhat surprising result is that, while classical solutions for the energy models are also threshold solutions, this is not the case for nonclassical solutions, ...
متن کاملA Variational View of Partial Brittle Damage Evolution
Under time-dependent loading, an elastic material is undergoing the simplest form of damage, that which consists in passing from its original state to a weaker elastic state. Elaborating on prior work [FM93], we establish existence of a relaxed variational evolution where, at each time, the two states of the material combine to form a fine mixture, optimal from the standpoint of the applied loa...
متن کاملExperimental Study of Damage Evolution in Circular Stirrup-Confined Concrete
This paper presents an experimental study on circular stirrup-confined concrete specimens under uniaxial and monotonic load. The effects of stirrup volume ratio, stirrup yield strength and concrete strength on damage evolution of stirrup-confined concrete were investigated. The experimental results showed that the strength and ductility of concrete are improved by appropriate arrangement of the...
متن کاملDamage evolution in brittle materials by shape and topological sensitivity analysis
This paper is devoted to a numerical implementation of the FrancfortMarigo model of damage evolution in brittle materials. This quasi-static model is based, at each time step, on the minimization of a total energy which is the sum of an elastic energy and a Griffith energy release rate. Such a minimization is carried over all geometric mixtures of the two, healthy and damaged, elastic phases, r...
متن کاملValidating Theories for Brittle Damage
Validating simulated predictions of internal damage within armor ceramics is preferable to simply assessing a model s ability to predict penetration depth, especially if one hopes to perform subsequent ‘‘second strike’’ analyses. We present the results of a study in which crack networks are seeded by using a statistically perturbed strength, the median of which is inherited from a deterministic...
