This paper proposes a framework for the constitutive model based on the semi-micromechanical aspects of plasticity, including damage progress for simulating behavior of concrete under multiaxial loading. This model is aimed to be used in plastic and fracture analysis of both regular and reinforced concrete structures, for the framework of sample plane crack approach. This model uses multilamina...

A framework for development of constitutive models based on semi-micromechanical aspects of plasticity is proposed. The resulting of this model for material employed friction type failure criterion, sub-loading surface, and associated flow rule. This model is capable of predicting effects of the rotation of principal stress/strain axes and consequent plastic flow, induced anisotropy of strength...

due to high surface-to-volume ratio of nanoscale structures, surface stress effects have a significant influence on their behavior. in this paper, a two-dimensional problem for an elastic layer that is bonded to a rigid substrate and subjected to an inclined concentrated line load acting on the surface of the layer is investigated based on gurtin-murdoch continuum model to consider surface stre...

the performance of msu-s and its forms modified with phosphotungstic acid (hpw) and nickel (ni) for the desulfurization and denitrogenation of model diesel fuel were studied. according to the results of the characteristic tests (n2 adsorption-desorption, xrd, sem, and nh3-tpd), heteropoly acid incorporation causes higher acidity along with a negligible loss of structural aspects, while ni impre...

a framework for development of constitutive models including damage progress, based on semi-micromechanical aspects of plasticity is proposed for concrete. the model uses sub-loading surface with multilaminate framework to provide kinematics and isotropic hardening/softening in the ascending/descending branches of loading and can be able to keep stress/stain paths histories for each plane separ...

one of the principles for designing and using the various units of water treatment plants is ability of assigning and predicting performance of those units in different and various conditions that could be checked by making pilot and could be modeled by means of available programs and software such as artificial neural network. at this study a model provided for predict performance of pressure ...
