The paper deals with experiments and numerical simulations of the biaxially loaded H-specimen to study damage failure in anisotropic ductile metals. deformation behavior metals depend both on load ratio loading direction respect rolling direction. Experiments focusing shear-compression stress states have been performed digital image correlation (DIC) is used monitor strain fields. Numerical bas...

The paper presents a new analytical model for thin structural adhesives in glued tube-to-tube butt joints. aim of this work is to provide an interface condition that allows suitable replacement the adhesive layer numerical simulations. proposed nonlinear and rate-dependent imperfect law able accurately describe brittle ductile stress–strain behaviors layers under combined tensile–torsion loads....

This paper presents a three-dimensional nonlinear degrading stiffness model capable of capturing stiffness degradation in bilateral directions for earthquake response analyses of reinforced concrete bridges. Stiffness degradations due to flexural and shear damage are considered. The model can trace the progress of damage from initial failure through gradual degradation of the member stiffness d...
