Permanent, inelastic deformations of one or several pavement and subgrade layers
originate from insufficient material (mix rutting) or structural design (subgrade rutting) of the …

In the present work, elasto-plastic creep crack growth simulations are performed using
continuum damage mechanics and extended finite element method. Liu–Murakami creep …

The linear viscoelastic behavior of materials is represented using mechanical models of
choice, which are further utilized in different numerical investigations, such as finite element …

The deformation of frozen soil under impact loading is usually accompanied by the evolution
of internal defects and microdamage. By taking the strain and strain rates into account, a rate …

In this paper, a new damage modelling approach is presented to describe the mechanical
response of unidirectional composites under the small strain assumption. The proposed …

The creep of asphalt and asphalt concrete were numerically studied extensively. However,
most of the previous studies only researched the decelerated creep stage and equi-velocity …

In this contribution, a physically motivated continuum mechanical model for asphalt concrete
and stone mastic asphalt (asphalt material) at large deformations is proposed. The …

In this study, rutting due to factors such as damage and permanent deformation and different
types of moving cyclic loads are investigated. For this purpose, prediction of rutting and life …

Dans ce travail de thèse, une modélisation multi-échelle est mise en place à partir du
concept d'homogénéisation périodique pour étudier le comportement cyclique et dépendant …

In the present study, Kachanov–Rabotnov continuum damage model has been employed to
describe the steady state and tertiary creep deformation and damage behaviour of 316L …
