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 ...

This paper presents the potentiality of the use of extrapolation of a set of Auto-Regressive (AR) models to inspect a future damage sensitive indices based on changes in one-step-ahead prediction errors. The key idea is ...

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 ...

In this paper, a mechanical model is proposed to estimate the static response (stiffness, residual capacity, deformed configuration, strain/strain distribution within cross-section, and deformation capacity) of a rope ...

Models based on the continuous damage theory present good responses in representing the nonlinear behavior of reinforced concrete structures with loss of strength and stiffness of the material. However, damage theory is ...

We extend the isotropic non-linear damage rheology model with a scalar damage parameter to a more complex formulation that accounts for anisotropic damage growth under true triaxial loading. The model takes account of both ...

This paper discusses the application of a damage detection methodology to monitor the location and extent of partial structural damage. The methodology combines, in an iterative way, the model updating technique based on ...
