In cement-based materials the full range from brittle to ductile fracture can be achieved by changing the material structure, the loading conditions, the specimen size and/or the …
G Lilliu, JGM Van Mier - Engineering Fracture Mechanics, 2007 - Elsevier
In this paper results obtained from analyses made using a beam lattice model are presented and discussed. The material system studied is a 3-phase particle composite where stiff and …
JGM Van Mier - International Journal of Fracture, 2007 - Springer
Fracture processes in brittle disordered materials like many geo-materials (rock, ice, concrete, cement, etc.) are a trade off between local stress concentrations caused by the …
Transversely isotropic rocks, making up around 75% of the earth's surface, are widely encountered in civil, mining, petroleum, geothermal and radioactive-waste disposal …
