Constitutive modeling of cortical bone considering anisotropic inelasticity and damage evolution
Researchers have conducted finite element (FE) analyses with human models to predict injuries due to traffic accidents or falling. In most of their analyses, cortical bone was simply modeled as a general isotropic elastoplastic material. In this study, a

INITIAL PRODUCTION OF DEFECTS IN ALKALI-HALIDES - F AND H CENTER PRODUCTION BY NON-RADIATIVE DECAY OF SELF-TRAPPED EXCITON [PDF]
Radiation damage in KCl can be produced by the decay of a self-trapped exciton into an F centre and an H centre. The authors present calculations of the energies of the states involved for various stages in the evolution of the damage.

3D orthogonal woven carbon/carbon composites: micromechanical modeling and damage analysis
This study develops a progressive damage model for three-dimensional orthogonal woven car-bon/carbon composites using a micromechanical approach. A Representative Volume Element (RVE) model with periodic boundary conditions is constructed using the ...

Calculation of the substitutional fraction of ion-implanted He in an Fe target
Ion-implantation is a useful technique to study irradiation damage in nuclear materials. To study He effects in nuclear fusion conditions, He is co-implanted with damage ions to reproduce the correct He/dpa ratios in the desired or available depth range.

Complexity of the behaviour of asphalt materials in cyclic testing [PDF]
This paper compares the results obtained in two types of cyclic tension-compression tests, a time sweep test, constant strain amplitude, and a strain sweep test, increasing strain amplitude every 5000 cycles, called EBADE (standing for the Spanish words ...

Evolution law for anisotropic damage
Summary: We give a formulation for anisotropic damage in the framework of the principle of strain equivalence. The damage variable is still related to the surface density of microcracks and microvoids, and, as its evolution is governed by the plastic strain, it is represented by a second-order tensor and is orthotropic.
