Phase-field fracture (PFF) modeling is a popular approach to model and simulate fracture
processes in solids. Accurate material parameters and boundary conditions are of utmost …

The work addresses the optimization of specimen geometry in the context of parameter
identification from full-field measurements. For this purpose, we propose to use topology …

Background: The recent development of Physics-Augmented Neural Networks (PANN)
opens new opportunities for modeling material behaviors. These approaches have …

In order to experimentally validate concrete damage models and better characterize the
concrete behavior during mixed-mode crack propagation, multiaxial tests are developed …

We propose a computational approach to determining the direction-dependent fracture
toughness of architected materials. Using the principles of multiscale mechanics and phase …

This second paper presents a series of 4 crack propagation tests with the same
experimental protocol as in a companion paper, but with some significant loading …

Engineering teams often use finite element numerical simulations for the design, study and
analysis of the behavior of large hydraulic structures. For concrete structures, models of …

A still open question is how to design smart and autonomous mechanical structures able to
perform online monitoring of their integrity and take anticipated actions during service before …

The quantitative analysis of 3D volumes obtained from tomography allows models to be
identified and validated. It consists of a sequence of three successive inverse problems:(i) …

A new in situ vibration mode measurement method within a tomograph is proposed based
on Projection-based Digital Volume Correlation techniques. Several projection angles are …
