      The paper deals with the strong discontinuity approach and shows the links with the decohesive fracture mechanics provided by that approach. On the basis of 1D continuum damage models it is shown that, by introducing some ...

      Accés obert
      The paper focuses on the Continuum Strong Discontinuity Approach (CSDA) to fracture mechanics, and the traction-separation cohesive laws induced from continuum dissipative models as their projections onto the failure ...
    • On the strong discontinuity approach in finite deformation settings

      Taking the strong discontinuity approach as a framework for modelling displacement discontinuities and strain localization phenomena, this work extends previous results in infinitesimal strain settings to finite deformation ...
