This paper presents an experimental and numerical characterization of ductile damage evolution in steels subjected to large plastic deformations. To this end, a set of tensile tests combining load-unload tensile cycles is ...

Moral damage is a king of indemnity that protects imaterial rights against injuries committed, those rights are inserted within personalities scope, previously deprived of judicial protection, once these rights were used ...

During the lifetime of a component, microstructural changes emerge at its material level and evolve through time. Classical empirical degradation models (e.g. Paris Law in fatigue crack growth) are usually established ...

The paper discusses the effect of stress triaxiality on the onset and evolution of damage in ductile metals. A series of tests including shear tests and experiments oil smooth and pre-notched tension specimens wits carried ...

This work deals with the initial applications and formulation of an aniscitropic plastic-damage constitutive model proposed for non-linear analysis of reinforced concrete structures submitted to a loading with change of ...

Nowadays there is great interest in damage identification using non destructive tests. Predictive maintenance is one of the most important techniques that are based on analysis of vibrations and it consists basically of ...
