Rupture by damage accumulation in rocks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The deformation of rocks is associated with microcracks nucleation and propagation, i.e. damage. The accumulation of damage and its spatial localization lead to the creation of a macroscale discontinuity, so-called "fault" in geological terms, and to the

Quantitative Model and Metrics of Electrical Grids’ Resilience Evaluated at a Power Distribution Level

open access: yesEnergies, 2016
This paper presents a framework to systematically measure and assess power grids’ resilience with a focus on performance as perceived by customers at the power distribution level. The proposed framework considers an analogous measure of availability as a

Numerical simulation of grain-size effects on creep crack growth by means of grain elements [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
The effect of grain size on creep crack growth is investigated by means of a numerical technique in which the actual crack growth process is simulated in a discrete manner by grain elements and grain boundary elements.
