Fatigue design of engineering structures is typically based on lifetime calculation using a
cumulative damage law. The linear damage rule by Miner is the universal standard for …

A thermo-mechanical model for concrete subjected to high temperatures is presented in this
paper. The model is based on a coupled plastic-damage model that has been extended to …

In this paper, a thermo-mechanical constitutive model for the predictions of fatigue in
structures using the finite element method is formulated. The model is based on the damage …

This work is a brief report about the problem of life-or, durability study-of structural materials,
undergoing mechanical, thermal and chemical actions. This document is approached from …

Aquest treball és una ressenya breu sobre problema de la predicció de vida, o estudi de la
