Metastasis is a dynamic process in which cancer cells navigate the tumor microenvironment,
largely guided by external chemical and mechanical cues. Our current understanding of …

The success of any progressive failure analysis of composite structures is influenced by the
failure criteria and the associated material property degradation models. The failure criteria …

A coupled thermal-elastic-plastic-damage model for concrete subjected to dynamic loading
is proposed. This model is formulated in the thermodynamic framework, with the adoption of …

The analysis of adhesively bonded joints started in 1938 with the closed-form model of
Volkersen. The equilibrium equation of a single lap joint led to a simple governing …

This book provides in a single and unified volume a clear and thorough presentation of the
recent advances in continuum damage mechanics for metals and metal matrix composites …

In this work, various definitions of the damage variables are examined and compared. In
particular, special emphasis is given to a new damage variable that is defined in terms of the …

A thermodynamically-based work potential theory for modeling progressive damage and
failure in fiber-reinforced laminates is presented. The current, multiple-internal state variable …

The objective of the present paper is to develop a thermodynamically consistent coupled
damage-plasticity model at large deformations, which accounts for damage anisotropy …

Two destructive rockfalls occurred in central Taiwan, wherein falling blocks severely
damaged an essential bridge of a mountain expressway. A series of field investigations …

This paper presents a comparison of meso-and micro-scale approaches to modeling
progressive damage in plain weave reinforced polymer matrix composites. The meso-scale …
