This paper concerns both in situ measurements of permeability and numerical modelling of
changes in permeability induced by microcrack growth. Hydraulic experiments including …

A micromechanical framework is proposed to investigate effective mechanical properties of
elastic multiphase composites containing many randomly dispersed ellipsoidal …

A nonlocal continuum model for strain-softening damage is derived by micromechanics
analysis of a macroscopically nonhomogeneous (nonuniform) system of interacting and …

In the last three decades, the constitutive modeling of concrete evolved considerably. This
paper describes various developments in this field based on different approaches such as …

Before a structure or component can be completed, before any analytical model can be
constructed, and even before the design can be formulated, you must have a fundamental …

With the aid of 3D acoustic emission (AE) monitoring system, the cracking process of granite
under compressive stress condition and its effect on the hydro-mechanical properties is …

A new microcrack-based continuous damage model is developed to describe the behavior
of brittle geomaterials under compression dominated stress fields. The induced damage is …

Based on experimental investigations, we propose a coupled elastoplastic damage model to
simulate the mechanical behavior of granite under compressive stress conditions. The …

The non-linear mechanical behaviour of two different granites was investigated. Short term
triaxial tests have been performed in order to study the short term behaviour (instantaneous …

This paper deals with numerical modelling of induced damage in three granites. A
continuous anisotropic damage model is proposed in the framework of thermodynamics and …
