Rock and soil damage-fracture space mechanics: Damage-fracture space [PDF]
Each of the current analytical methods used in rock and soil CT mechanics is “observation”, wasting the precious CT quantitative information. Utilizing the CT number, the perfect degree and the damage-fracture degree of a point inside the rock sample are defined, the λ level perfect field, the λ level damage-fracture field and the λ1-λ2 level ...

Statistical properties of fractures in damaged materials [PDF]
We introduce a model for the dynamics of mud cracking in the limit of of extremely thin layers. In this model the growth of fracture proceeds by selecting the part of the material with the smallest (quenched) breaking threshold. In addition, weakening affects the area of the sample neighbour to the crack.

Analysis of Tunnel Lining Failure Mechanism under the Action of Active Fault
The underground structure that crosses the active fault will cause more serious damage under the dislocation of the active fault. Relying on an actual tunnel in the southwest mountainous area to establish a three-dimensional finite element model, the ...

Fracture and damage analysis in design [PDF]
This Special Issue contains selected papers presented at the XXIX National Conference of the Italian Association for Stress Analysis (AIAS), held in Maratea, organized by University of Calabria, (Italy) from 7 to 10 September 2010. This Conference is focussed on several topics, the common matrix being always the (experimental but also numerical and ...

Rock and soil damage-fracture space mechanics: The divisional damage-fracture theory [PDF]
This article points out each of the current analytical methods used in CT mechanics of rock and soil avail of observation, wasting the precious quantitative information of CT datum. Based on the conception of the intercepted section in the damage-fracture space, utilizing the knowledge of the set theory, the measure theory and the Lebesgue integral ...

Turbulent Fracture Surfaces: A Footprint of Damage Percolation? [PDF]
We show that a length scale xi can be extracted from the spatial correlations of the "steep cliffs" that appear on fracture surface. Above xi, the slope amplitudes are uncorrelated and the fracture surface is mono-affine. Below xi, long-range spatial correlation lead to a multi-fractal behavior of the surface, reminiscent of turbulent flows.

In this study, we follow the work of Tvergaard and Needleman (1995, 1997) and Needleman and Tvergaard (1998) and present the numerical implementation and initial applications of a non-local Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman (GTN) model for explicit finite ...

Interlocking thin-ply reinforcement concept for improved fracture toughness and damage tolerance
An original concept for improving the delamination resistance and damage tolerance of a composite laminate is proposed. The concept is to insert interlocked thin-ply reinforcement units between the laminae.

A simple damage and fracture model of brain parenchyma for haptic brain surgery simulations
Dissection and removal of lesion areas are fundamental operations in brain surgeries. Therefore, damage and fracture models are needed to simulate dissection and removal operations.
