Bouc–Wen-Type Models with Stiffness Degradation: Thermodynamic Analysis and Applications [PDF]
Journal of Engineering Mechanics, 2008 In this paper, a thermodynamic analysis of Bouc-Wen models endowed with both strength and stiffness degradation is provided. It is based on the relationship between the flow rules of these models and those of the endochronic plasticity theory with damage, discussed in a companion paper (Erlicher and Point, 2008). Using the theoretical framework of that

Monitoring dynamic stiffness that predicts concrete structure degradation [PDF]
, 2016 This paper presents a series of laboratory experiments on a scaled reinforced concrete bridge deck as well as results of a pilot project on an existing bridge. The ultimate goal is to develop a structural health monitoring system based on evaluation of the dynamic bending stiffness which would be derived from easy to use measurement devices.

Macro-mechanical and microscopic study of the fatigue damage behaviour of a carbon fabric/PPS thermoplastic composite [PDF]
, 2011 This manuscript elaborates on the tension-tension fatigue behaviour of a carbon fabric reinforced polyphenylene sulphide. The damage behaviour will be investigated by (i) conducting fatigue experiments, in order to determine the macroscopic behaviour ...
