A review of benchmark experiments for the validation of peridynamics models

P Diehl, S Prudhomme, M Lévesque - Journal of Peridynamics and …, 2019 - Springer
Abstract Peridynamics (PD), a non-local generalization of classical continuum mechanics
(CCM) allowing for discontinuous displacement fields, provides an attractive framework for …

Critical comparison of phase-field, peridynamics, and crack band model M7 in light of gap test and classical fracture tests

ZP Bažant, HT Nguyen… - Journal of Applied …, 2022 - asmedigitalcollection.asme.org
The recently conceived gap test and its simulation revealed that the fracture energy Gf (or
Kc, Jcr) of concrete, plastic-hardening metals, composites, and probably most materials can …

Proposal of m-index for rating fracture and damage models by their ability to represent a set of distinctive experiments

ZP Bažant, HT Nguyen - Journal of Engineering Mechanics, 2023 - ascelibrary.org
A recent comparative study revealed that the commonly offered experimental validations of
peridynamics and phase-field fracture models have been insufficient because they involved …

Peridynamic numerical investigation of asymmetric strain-controlled fatigue behaviour using the kinetic theory of fracture

T Vaitkunas, P Griskevicius, G Dundulis… - Advanced Modeling and …, 2024 - Springer
Numerical fatigue process modelling is complex and still an open task. Discontinuity caused
by fatigue cracks requires special finite element techniques based on additional parameters …

Modelling of rolling contact fatigue for rail materials being subject to severe plastic deformation

M Januschewsky - 2023 - etheses.whiterose.ac.uk
Modern railway systems are a beneficial way of transport. However, the operation requires
maintenance to compensate for rail degradations. Key issues of degradation regard severe …

The effect of crack-parallel stresses on fracture properties of quasibrittle and ductile materials

H Nguyen - 2022 - search.proquest.com
The goal of this thesis is to develop an experimental setup to evaluate and analyze the effect
of crack-parallel stress on the fracture response of materials. In standard fracture test …
