The past 20 years have seen substantial work on the modeling of ductile damage and
fracture. Several factors explain this interest.(i) There is a growing demand to provide tools …

Recent developments in engineering and technology have brought about serious and
enlarged demands for reliability, safety and economy in wide range of fields such as …

Fatigue life assessment of metal additive manufacturing (AM) products has remained
challenging due to the uncertainty of as–built defects, heterogeneity of the microstructure …

A three-dimensional damage model with induced damage anisotropy is proposed for quasi-
brittle materials such as concrete. The thermodynamics framework is used, considering then …

The present paper deals with a modification of the stress triaxiality-based Lemaitre damage
model to predict the ductile fracture at low stress triaxiality and shear-dominated loadings …

A novel continuum damage coupled unified viscoplastic model is used for simulating the
stress–strain responses of SiMo 4.06 cast iron under Low-Cycle Fatigue (LCF), fatigue …

This work is concerned with the theoretical development, algorithmic implementation and
numerical investigation of a novel thermodynamically consistent 'two-surface'gradient …

The objective of the present paper is to develop a thermodynamically consistent coupled
damage-plasticity model at large deformations, which accounts for damage anisotropy …

The idea of the paper is to apply the well established structural tensors approach to complex
inelastic material modeling in the finite strain regime. Using this concept, a very general and …

The field of continuum damage mechanics addresses mathematical models for the
degradation of the mechanical properties of engineering materials, in particular for softening …
