This work presents an adaptive hierarchical multiscale approach for modeling the trans-
scale damage evolution in concrete. The problem domain represented by an adaptive …

The adverse impact of high temperatures on concrete is a well-recognized issue that can
lead to significant mechanical deterioration and structural integrity loss. Factors such as …

The computational prediction of the failure processes of concrete under compression is still
a challenge. Several researchers have proposed mesoscale models to have a better …

A new strategy to predict the different failure processes of reinforced concrete members via
macroscale modeling is proposed. In the mesh fragmentation framework, the technique …

A new methodology to investigate transient creep at the material level in terms of Load
Induced Thermal Strain (LITS) by means of numerical mesoscopic analysis is proposed. 2D …

The cortical bone is a hierarchical composite material that, at the microscale, is segmented
in an interstitial matrix, cement line, osteons, and Haversian canals. The cracking of the …

This work proposes a new approach to describe 2D frictional contact problems based on the
use of coupling finite elements (CFEs) and a combined contact/friction damage constitutive …

This study aimed to present a stochastic fracture approach to evaluate the mean and
variance of mixed-mode stress intensity factor (MMSIF) with crack growth and probability of …

This study developed five artificial intelligence–based models for predicting smooth
hysteretic model (SHM) parameters. Recently, an SHM based on the Bouc–Wen model was …

The use of construction waste as aggregate in the production of concrete is becoming a
more frequent alternative due to the advantages associated with the sustainability aspect …
