Young-measure Quasi-static Damage Evolution
نویسنده
چکیده
An existence result for the quasi-static evolution of incomplete damage in elastic materials is presented. The absence of gradient terms in the damage variable causes a critical lack of compactness. Therefore, the analysis is developed in the framework of Young measures, where a notion of solution is defined, presenting some improvements with respect to previous contributions. The main new feature in the proof of the existence result regards a delicate construction of the joint-recovery sequence.

Young measure flow as a model for damage
Models for hysteresis in continuum mechanics are studied that rely on a time-discretised quasi-static evolution of Young measures akin to a gradient flow. The main feature of this approach is that it allows for local, rather than global minimisation. In particular, the case of a non-coercive elastic energy density of Lennard-Jones type is investigated. The approach is used to describe the forma...
متن کاملVickers Indentation Cracking of Ion-Exchanged Glasses: Quasi-Static vs. Dynamic Contact
The indentation deformation and cracking responses of ion-exchanged glasses were measured using quasi-static and dynamic loading cycles. Two glass types were compared, a normal glass that deforms to a large extent by a shearing mechanism and a damage-resistant glass that comparatively deforms with less shear and more densification. The quasi-static indentation cracking threshold for median/radi...
متن کاملDamage and fracture evolution in brittle materials by shape optimization methods
We present a numerical implementation of the Francfort-Marigo 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-type dissipated energy. Such a minimization is carried over all geometric mixtures of the two, healthy and damaged, elastic phases, respecting ...
متن کاملAmbrosio-tortorelli Approximation of Quasi-static Evolution of Brittle Fractures
We define a notion of quasistatic evolution for the elliptic approximation of the Mumford-Shah functional proposed by Ambrosio and Tortorelli. Then we prove that this regular evolution converges to a quasi static growth of brittle fractures in linearly elastic bodies.
متن کاملDamage characterization in SFRP using X-ray computed tomography after application of incremental and interrupted in situ quasi static tensile loading
The use of short fiber reinforced polymers (SFRP) is increasing steadily in automotive and aerospace industry due to its mechanical properties and light weight. The mechanical and physical properties of SFRP depend on the geometrical characteristics of the reinforcing material. Under tensile stress various defects are induced in SFRP composites. X-ray computed tomography (XCT) is a non-destruct...
