This paper investigates the development of crack and damage in shield tunnel lining under
seismic loading. Based on a recently constructed undersea-shield tunnel, ie the Shantou …

A technique for modelling of arbitrary three‐dimensional dynamically propagating cracks in
elastic bodies by the Element‐Free Galerkin (EFG) method with explicit time integration is …

The broaching of fluid through cement sheath imposes serious challenges to the integrity of
the wellbore. Wellbore integrity is highly dependent upon the integrity of the interfacial …

The technique of bonding fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites to the tension face or
sides of reinforced concrete (RC) beams has become very popular for strengthening or …

The newly-developed scaled boundary finite element method (SBFEM) is able to calculate
stress intensity factors directly because the singularity in stress solutions at crack tips is …

This study develops a method coupling the finite element method (FEM) and the scaled
boundary finite element method (SBFEM) for fully-automatic modelling of cohesive crack …

The prediction of crack growth is studied by the manifold method. The manifold method is a
new numerical method proposed by Shi. This method provides a unified framework for …

In quasi-brittle materials such as concrete, numerical methods are frequently used to
simulate the crack propagation for monotonic loading. However, further research and action …

The numerical manifold method combined with the virtual crack extension method is
proposed to study the mixed mode fracture propagation. The manifold method is a new …

This paper presents an energy-based approach for the finite-element modeling of mixed-
mode cohesive crack propagation. This approach predicts the propagation of a quasistatic …
