This work presents a new damage criterion suitable for elastic, elastic-plastic/viscous or elastic-viscous-plastic materials involving rupture effects. Its derivation, made here within thermodynamic framework, follows previous scalar-valued mechanics approaches. Such approaches are appropriate to many geophysical problems quasi-brittle which there is no clear physical justification the level of...

A gradient-extended two-surface damage-plasticity model based on a von Mises yield criterion has been proposed by [1, 2], which can be flexibly adapted to (quasi-)brittle-like, ductile-like, or various material behaviors in between. However, the does not take into account effect of hydrostatic pressure, therefore it hardly failure behavior pressure-sensitive materials such as geomaterials and s...

The theoretical basis of classic geotechnical engineering stability problems is limit analyis thereom. Incremental loading finite elements and strength reduction finite elements were put forward by Zienkiewicz in 1975 and the methods are called by the authors Limit Analysis Finite Elements (abbreviation LAFE for short). It has been successfully applied to slope engineering, and used to bearing ...

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have received a lot of attention over the years as advanced physico-chemical polishing wastewater treatments to remove biorefractory pollutants. Additionally, many studies report their excellent degradation and mineralization performance stand-alone technologies too, demonstrating versatility these processes; however, there is lack suitable methods compare (i...
