The issue of the influence of masonry infills within RC frames structures has been widely
investigated in the last decades by several researchers. The large interest addressed to this …

Delamination events are major issues which notably affect the integrity of composite
structures. To minimize the experimental efforts, there is an increasing demand for …

The paper presents a continuous–discontinuous numerical strategy for simulating localized
failure in structures made of quasi-brittle materials using finite elements. The strategy is …

The proposed study aims to derive an imperfect interface model which couples finite strain
and damaging. The governing equations are obtained via an asymptotic approach within the …

In the present study a multi-scale computational strategy for the analysis of structures made-
up of masonry material is presented. The structural macroscopic behavior is obtained …

This paper investigates the response of aluminum structures to hypervelocity impact (HVI)
and the formation of debris clouds using the Adaptive Finite Element (FEM)/Smoothed …

This paper presents a concept of Interfacial Transition Zone (ITZ) enrichment for the
characterisation of masonry under biaxial stress states to a nonlocal transient damage …

The present paper deals with the localization of strains in those structures consisting of
materials exhibiting plastic softening response. It is assumed that strain localization …

Dans le cadre de la discrétion acoustique des navires militaires, cette thèse contribue à la
modélisation de structures amorties par des matériaux viscoélastiques, sous forme de …

Masonry material presents a mechanical response strongly dependent on the static and
kinematic phenomena occurring in the constituents and at their joints. At the mesoscopic …
