This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the fatigue behaviour of cementitious
materials, focusing on the characterisation, modelling, and mechanisms underlying their …

This study investigates the effectiveness of Digital Image Correlation (DIC) as a powerful tool
for deriving Paris' law constants in black granite specimens subjected to cyclic loading. A …

In this paper, we extend the micromechanics-based phase-field model to simulate fatigue
failure. The coupling of a micromechanics-based framework with the phase-field approach …

Cementitious brittle construction materials are susceptible to fracturing due to their
heterogeneous material composition and relatively weak bond between the aggregates and …

Recycling plays a pivotal role in construction waste management, offering a path toward
sustainability for the industry. Although waste ceramics can compensate for the mechanical …

To understand and quantify fatigue in siltstone, uniaxial cyclic loading was applied on
siltstone specimens along with acoustic emission (AE) monitoring. The specimens were pre …

Abstract The incorporation of Ultra-High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) in steel-concrete
composite beams presents an outstanding solution for reducing crack propagation and …

The analysis of critical states during fracture of wood materials is crucial for wood building
safety monitoring, wood processing, etc. In this paper, beech and camphor pine are selected …

Fatigue testing poses significant challenges due to its time-consuming and labor-intensive
nature, especially when manually observing visually thin fatigue cracks. To address this …

We simulated the tensile fracturing process, capturing both microseismic events (acoustic
emissions) and the dynamics of fracture propagation through high-speed photography. To …
