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 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 کاملNonlinear modeling of the infill wall based on the brittle cracking model
Abstract: This paper introduces a new numerical method for the analysis of infilled steel frames with hollow clay blocks. This approach is based on the brittle cracking model of ABAQUS. The results of the in-plane calibration analyses obtained with four experimental tests are presented and discussed. The first test was a bare steel frame used as a control specimen. The second was similar to ...
متن کاملCracking in brittle laminates from concentrated loads
A study is made of the crack resistance of multilaminates consisting of brittle layers interleaved with compliant interlayers and bonded to compliant substrates. Specific attention is paid to flexure-generated radial cracks in the undersurfaces of individual glass layers from concentrated loads applied at the top surfaces. A proposed condition for acceptance of such multilayer systems is that r...
متن کاملNumerical micromechanical modelling of brittle polycrystalline materials
A generally applicable framework for generating a nite element mesh that is based on the actual micro-structure of a material is developed. The procedure is applied to a microscopic image of a ceramic material. Special attention is paid to the modelling of the interfaces between adjoining grains. Plane strain and plane stress nite element calculations are performed. The observed e ective consta...
