Strain Localisation and Fracture of Nuclear Reactor Core Materials

open access: yesJournal of Nuclear Engineering, 2023
The production of prismatic dislocation loops in nuclear reactor core materials results in hardening because the loops impede dislocation motion. Yielding often occurs by a localised clearing of the loops through interactions with gliding dislocations ...

A thermodynamically consistent plastic-damage framework for localized failure in quasi-brittle solids: material model and strain localization analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Aiming for the modeling of localized failure in quasi-brittle solids, this paper addresses a thermodynamically consistent plastic-damage framework and the corresponding strain localization analysis. A unified elastoplastic damage model is first presented

Episodic Tremor and Slip Explained by Fluid‐Enhanced Microfracturing and Sealing

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2018
Episodic tremor and slow‐slip events at the deep extension of plate boundary faults illuminate seismic to aseismic processes around the brittle‐ductile transition.

A Comparison of Plasticity Regularization Approaches for Geodynamic Modeling

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023
The emergence, geometry and activation of faults are intrinsically linked to frictional rheology. The latter is thus a central element in geodynamic simulations which aim at modeling the generation and evolution of fault zones and plate boundaries ...

Quantitative Evaluation of Soil Structure and Strain in Three Dimensions under Shear Using X-ray Computed Tomography Image Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Imaging, 2021
The objective of this study is to quantitatively evaluate the soil structure behavior when under shear stress to understand the mechanism of shear zone formation using a micro-focus X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanner to visualize the internal samples

Emergence of Shear Bands in Confined Granular Systems: Singularity of the q-Statistics

open access: yesEntropy, 2018
The statistics of grain displacements probability distribution function (pdf) during the shear of a granular medium displays an unusual dependence with the shear increment upscaling as recently evinced (see “experimental validation of a ...

Strain localization and anisotropic correlations in a mesoscopic model of amorphous plasticity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
A mesoscopic model for shear plasticity of amorphous materials in two dimensions is introduced, and studied through numerical simulations in order to elucidate the macroscopic (large scale) mechanical behavior.

Strain localization in a shear transformation zone model for amorphous solids

open access: yes, 2007
We model a sheared disordered solid using the theory of Shear Transformation Zones (STZs). In this mean-field continuum model the density of zones is governed by an effective temperature that approaches a steady state value as energy is dissipated.

Statistical method for quantifying the strain localization process in Beishan granite under multi-creep triaxial compression based on distributed optical fiber sensing

open access: yesJournal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering
To investigate the damage evolution caused by stress-driven and sub-critical crack propagation within the Beishan granite under multi-creep triaxial compressive conditions, the distributed optical fiber sensing and X-ray computed tomography were combined
