This paper presents a plastic-damage formulation and a new isotropic hardening law, based
on the Barcelona plastic damage model initially proposed by Lubliner et al.(1989)[1], which …

A stepwise load-advancing strategy for cyclic loading will be presented in this paper that
yields convergence in reasonable computational time for highly nonlinear behaviour …

A fatigue constitutive model valid for the composite constituent will be presented in this
paper. The composite behaviour will be obtained by means of the serial/parallel mixing …

This paper presents the results of finite element simulations made on a bent pipe subjected
to an in-plane variable cyclic displacement combined with internal pressure. Special …

This paper presents the theoretical framework for a coupled plastic damage constitutive
model valid for materials subjected to cyclic loads that lead to low and ultra-low cycle …

The present thesis aims at advancing an innovative computational methodology that
simulates steel and composite material fracture under cyclic loading following a …

This paper presents the results of finite element simulations made on a bent pipe subjected

The present work presents a general constitutive model formulation and a numerical
algorithm for automatically selecting the appropriate coupling of damage and plasticity as a …

The mechanical phenomenon known as fatigue consists in the loss of material strength, and
consequent failure, due to the effect of periodic loads. Fatigue is characterized, among other …
