The existence of multi-axial states of stress cannot be avoided in elevated temperature
components. It is essential to understand the associated failure mechanisms and to predict …

Proper quantitative characterization of microstructures, for the purpose of modeling the
effective properties, is discussed. This is a broad subject that covers different physical …

With elevated confining pressure and low temperatures, geomaterials may exhibit brittle-to-
ductile failure transition due to increased cataclastic flow. In this work, we propose a …

To capture the uniaxial compression fracture of concrete composite is still a great
challenging problem. To this end, the newly proposed nonlocal macro–meso-scale …

The paper concerns the description and the validation of a constitutive model for concrete
characterized by a combined plastic-hardening-damage-fracture dissipative criterion …

The aircraft is subjected to high‐temperature and high‐pressure conditions during flight,
which renders it susceptible to the occurrence of creep phenomenon. Several academics …

A microcrack damage model for brittle rocks under uniaxial compression is presented.
Based on a supposed random distribution of microcracks, the model incorporates …

Orthodontic retention is the final important stage of orthodontic treatment, the aim of which is
to consolidate the functional and aesthetic position of teeth. Among adults, fixed retainers …

The paper deals with an anisotropic continuum damage model for plain concrete to provide
an efficient macroscopic approach suitable for boundary-value problems involving nonlinear …

This study addresses creep behavior under constant load with the evolution of damage and
plastic deformation by load change. A creep strain rate equation with one damage variable …
