Analytical solution of a gradient-enhanced damage model for quasi-brittle failure

L Xue, X Ren, F Freddi - Applied Mathematical Modelling, 2024 - Elsevier
This paper presents an approach for analytically solving gradient-enhanced damage (GED)
models. The proposed approach provides rigorous proofs for essential phenomena …

A novel sequentially linear approach based on exponential saw-tooth softening in fracture analysis of quasi-brittle material

UJ Kim, IG Kim, K Yun, MG Jon, UB Kim - Computers & Structures, 2024 - Elsevier
Abstract The Newton-Raphson iterative scheme is a widely used technique for modeling the
non-linear problems, but it is well known that the scheme is unstable and the convergence …
