      Damage models are capable of representing crack initiation and mimicking crack propagation within a continuum framework. Thus, in principle, they do not describe crack openings. In durability analyses of concrete structures ...

      Crack opening governs many transfer properties that play a pivotal role in durability analyses. Instead of trying to combine continuum and discrete models in computational analyses, it would be attractive to derive from ...

      Due to the industrial needs, one of the key issues nowadays is to develop numerical tools that are able to predict the leakage rate through a cracked structure. This paper presents a validation of a numerical modelling of ...
    • Stress based nonlocal interactions

      The progressive degradation of quasi-brittle materials can be reproduced efficiently by means of damage models. The presence of microcracks in the media gives a nonlocal aspect to the evolution of damage. By interacting with ...
