Abstract: Three‐dimensional micromechanical anisotropic damage models for microcrack‐weakened brittle solids are presented. The self‐consistent method is employed together with analytical solutions for weakly interacting elliptical ...

Abstract: In this sequel, three‐dimensional self‐consistent damage models for brittle solids under compressive triaxial loadings are developed based on micromechanics and microcrack geometry within a representative volume. Due to ...

Abstract: In recent years, the method of x-ray computer tomography imaging has been used to characterize the microstructure of asphalt concrete, cement concrete, soil, and rock. This paper focuses on developing an algorithm that ...
