Interphase regions that form in heterogeneous materials through various underlying
mechanisms such as poor mechanical or chemical adherence, roughness, and coating, play …

Meso-structural models are presently in common use for analysis of the mechanical
behaviour, damage evolution and failure of concrete. These are constructed either from XCT …

To understand the influence of friction on the shear-slip behavior of heterogeneous brittle
composites, a novel cohesive interlayer model that can effectively capture the friction effect …

In this study, a general frictional cohesive zone model (FCZM) dedicated to quasi-brittle
fracture is proposed to describe the mechanical response of an interface under combined …

The booming application of UHPC-NC composite members renders the interfacial behavior
a critical role in their macro-scale structural behaviors. Four composite beams were …

Additive manufacturing has enabled the design of thermoplastic components that provide
structural support, electrical conductivity and heat generation modulated by mechanical …

In the present paper, a two-scale FE 2 technique based on periodic homogenization theory
is investigated to predict the macroscopic non-linear behavior of polymer matrix composite …

The main idea of this work is to investigate the uncertainty propagation while homogenizing
the periodic fiber-reinforced composites with some structural interface imperfections, and …

A three-dimensional constitutive model for skeletal muscle incorporating microstructural
characteristics is developed and numerically implemented in a general purpose finite …

The Coulomb friction law is incorporated into the traction separation law, so a friction
cohesive zone model (FCZM) combining sliding friction, interfacial debonding, and the …
