Abstract: The discussion centers on the formulation of a constitutive model for brittle solids satisfying two conflicting requirements: simplicity and accuracy. Owing to the inherent complexity oif the ...

Abstract: The approximate, closed-form solutions for the inelastic strain and compliances are derived for some simple plane stress and plane strain cases. The computations are performed for a model-ignoring ...

Abstract: The paper suggests a phenomenological damage theory for perfectly brittle response of solids. The theory is based on the micromechanics of brittle deformation processes. The inelastic change of ...

Abstract: Ice compressive strength is a key property for investigating the interaction between ice and structures. In this research, a digital image correlation (DIC) technique is developed to measure the complete deformation range ...
