The damage evolution of concrete under multiple stress states is complicated because the
triaxial stress on the heterogeneous concrete affects mesoscale interactions between …

Abstract Background Digital Volume correlation (DVC) consists in identifying the
displacement fields that allow for the best possible registration of volume images of a …

The microscale fracture modeling of concrete requires explicit descriptions of the
microstructure and the fracture properties of its constituents. The identification of fracture …

Delayed long-term strains of concrete caused by creep are a known problem leading to, eg,
the loss of pre-stress and additional microcracking in concrete structures. In order to improve …

Abstract Design and maintenance of concrete structures require efficient methods for
predicting quasi-brittle fracture while incorporating mesoscale-induced structural …

Isogeometric analysis (IGA) consists of using the same higher-order and smooth spline
functions for the representation of geometry in Computer Aided Design as for the …

X-ray computed tomography (XRCT) is a valuable tool for characterizing the microstructure
of concrete and for developing 3D mesoscale numerical models directly from experimental …

Being able to reposition tumors from prone imaging to supine surgery stances is key for
bypassing current invasive marking used for conservative breast surgery. This study aims to …

The quantification of debonding was performed for additively manufactured “fractal” fibers
embedded within two brittle matrices. Three pull-out tests were carried out inside of an X-ray …

In the process of deep coal resource extraction, a large number of cracks will be generated
in the coal body in front of the working face under mining stress, causing large-scale …
