This paper presents an isotropic damage model for quasi-brittle materials and demonstrates
its performance in crack propagation analysis for concrete. The suggested damage model is …

In Generalized Barycentric Coordinates in Computer Graphics and Computational
Mechanics, eminent computer graphics and computational mechanics researchers provide …

We present a general finite deformation higher-order gradient elasticity theory. The
governing equations of the higher-order gradient solid along with boundary conditions of …

Continuum models of fracture should be equipped with a localization limiter to prevent
pathological discretization sensitivity of finite element simulations. Moreover, stiffness …

The phenomenological constitutive modelling of timber requires complex anisotropic failure
criteria or a combination of failure surfaces that adequately capture different failure modes …

Ice and snow structure is a novel type of structure, which attracts more and more attention.
As a novel green building material, the research of plain ice and fiber-reinforced ice material …

A new continuous‐discontinuous strategy for the simulation of failure is presented. The
continuous bulk is regularised by means of a gradient‐enhanced damage model, where non …

A gradient crystal plasticity model in the framework of continuum thermodynamics and rate
variational formulation is presented for the description of plastic deformation patterning in a …

A new 3D finite element concrete model is described. The model brings together two
recently developed sub-models for simulating cracking and crack contact behaviour, both of …

This paper introduces a novel smoothing gradient-enhanced thermo-mechanical damage
model to capture complex thermal crack patterns. To describe the adiabatic property of the …
