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 ...

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 ...

In this paper, two factors that govern the response of damaged ropes are numerically examined independently: strain localization and asymmetric damage distribution. These two mechanisms are studied by using two nonlinear ...

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 ...

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 ...
