Modelling damage and failure in carbon/epoxy non-crimp fabric composites including effects of fabric pre-shear [PDF]
A numerical material model for intra-laminar failure prediction of biaxial non-crimp fabric composites is presented. The model combines the elasto-plastic continuum damage constitutive model proposed by Ladevèze with the intra-laminar matrix failure ...

Second law of thermodynamics and the failure of rock materials [PDF]
The relation of nonequilibrium thermodynamics to some failure and fracture theories of rock mechanics is investigated. The basic concepts are given to connect failure to the properties of material equations describing the elastic properties.
