Brittle creep, damage and time-to-failure in rocks
We propose a numerical model based on static fatigue laws in order to model the time-dependent damage and deformation of rocks under creep. An empirical relation between time-to-failure and applied stress is used to simulate the behavior of each element of our finite element model. We first review available data on creep experiments, in order to study how the material properties and the loading...
متن کاملValidating Theories for Brittle Damage
Validating simulated predictions of internal damage within armor ceramics is preferable to simply assessing a model s ability to predict penetration depth, especially if one hopes to perform subsequent ‘‘second strike’’ analyses. We present the results of a study in which crack networks are seeded by using a statistically perturbed strength, the median of which is inherited from a deterministic...
متن کاملModeling of Brittle Failure and Comparisons
A numerical multiple crack interaction model was developed to simulate the failure process in brittle solids containing significant populations of flaws. The model, which is 2D, allows for the growth of microcracks on a regular array of potential crack sites. Individual cracks may be oriented vertically, horizontally or at 450 to the sample axes. Quasi-static equilibrium equations are expressed...
متن کاملTwo-scale damage modeling of brittle composites
This paper is aimed at developing a non-local theory for obtaining a numerical approximation to a boundary-value problem describing damage phenomena in a ceramic composite material. The mathematical homogenization method based on double-scale asymptotic expansion is generalized to account for damage effects in heterogeneous media. A closed-form expression relating local fields to the overall st...
متن کاملFailure of Mineralized Collagen Microfibrils Using Finite Element Simulation Coupled to Mechanical Quasi-brittle Damage
Bone is a multiscale heterogeneous materiel of which principal function is to support the body structure and to resist mechanical loading and fractures. Bone strength does not depend only on the quantity and quality of bone which is characterized by the geometry and the shape of bones but also on the mechanical proprieties of its compounds, which have a significant influence on its deformation ...
