The transport infrastructure is crucial to maintaining the interconnection of urban, rural, and
commercial centres, thus allowing the socioeconomic growth of populations and …

On account of stress relaxation, the conventional strain-controlled creep-fatigue interaction
(CCFI) tests make it difficult to obtain the creep-dominated data. To make up for this …

In this study, a microdamage model by introducing the damage of crystal is proposed.
Damage variables are defined for each slip system, and the damage-coupled crystal …

The failure of the cellular structures and the prediction of their limit load and type of failure
are essential in their design and applications. The isotropic Continuum Damage Mechanics …

As a porous material, the strength and deformation characteristics of cement after well-
completion are related to internal pores. This article describes a damage law of cement with …

In this paper, the failure mechanism of the cement sheath in gas storage salt caverns under
the cyclic internal pressure and cavity shrinkage was explored. First, an elastoplastic …

Underground salt cavern gas storages have high injection-production efficiency and fast gas
injection-delivery switching speed, which has a significant advantage in peak shaving of gas …

In this study, a combination of Chaboche's nonlinear kinematic hardening model and
Lemaitre's anisotropic continuum damage mechanics (CDM) model is used to predict …

Time-dependent responses of cracked concrete structures are complex, due to the
intertwined effects between creep, shrinkage, and cracking. There still lacks an effective …

The cement sheath is a structure formed by filling cement slurry between the casing and the
formation and letting it solidify and harden. It serves to fix the casing and seal the gap …
