The use of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bars in GeoPolymer Concrete (GPC) structures
has drawn increasing attention in recent years. The application of GPC with basalt fiber …

Contact and fracture in the material point method require grid‐scale enrichment or
partitioning of material into distinct velocity fields to allow for displacement or velocity …

This book describes thermoelastic and inelastic deformation processes in crystalline solids
undergoing loading by shock compression. Constitutive models with a basis in geometrically …

A micromechanical multi-physics model for ceramics has been recalibrated and used to
simulate impact experiments with boron carbide in abaqus. The dominant physical …

We describe models for the behavior of hot‐pressed boron carbide that is subjected to
extreme dynamic environments such as ballistic impact. We first identify the deformation and …

Dynamic compressive failure of brittle materials follows a progression from micro-cracks
initiating and growing at pre-existing material defects or flaws, to micro-crack coalescence …

Finite element simulations can be very useful for assessing and optimizing the design of
advanced armor systems, but they require capturing the mechanisms of damage and failure …

We investigated the uniaxial compressive behavior of damaged and intact alumina using
quantitative X-ray computed tomography (XCT) analysis coupled with digital image …

In Part I, we established a model for amorphization during the failure of quasi-brittle
materials. In this Part II, we present a multi-mechanism physics-based constitutive model …

The Lip-field approach was introduced in Moës and Chevaugeon (2021) as a new way to
regularize softening material models. It was tested in 1D quasistatic in Moës and …
