Introduction: Dissection or rupture of the aorta is accompanied by high mortality rates, and
there is a pressing need for better prediction of these events for improved patient …

Damage in concrete has been modelled using various approaches such as fracture
mechanics, continuum damage mechanics and failure envelope theories. This study …

This paper presents the mathematical derivation and numerical implementation of a novel
regularized density-driven damage mechanics (D3M) model for simulating failure in …

FRAMING THE PROBLEM: PREDICTING RISK OR OCCURRENCE OF ACUTE AORTIC
SYNDROMES AND CONSEQUENT INTERVENTION Despite modern diagnostic …

We extend the methodology introduced for the initiation of damage within the context of a
class of elastic solids to a class of viscoelastic solids (Alagappan et al. 2016 Proc. R. Soc …

We study the initiation of damage in a polymeric body in which there is a line defect due to
the formation of a “weld line” that occurs when two polymer streams join together and then …

We study fatigue (weakness induced by cyclic loading) in a viscoelastic body described by a
generalization of the Kelvin-Voigt constitutive relation, employing a novel damage initiation …

Damage in concrete has been modeled using various approaches such as fracture
