Tracking of Localized Cracks in the Finite Element Analysis of Masonry Walls

TL;DR: This work presents a remedy to the previous shortcomings through the enhancement of the standard smeared crack approach with a crack-tracking algorithm, which reduces the computational cost and ensures a computationally efficient analysis of small- and large-scale structures.

A theory of the yielding and plastic flow of anisotropic metals

TL;DR: In this article, a theory is suggested which describes the yielding and plastic flow of an anisotropic metal on a macroscopic scale and associated relations are then found between the stress and strain-increment tensors.

Crack band theory for fracture of concrete

TL;DR: In this article, a fracture theory for a heterogenous aggregate material which exhibits a gradual strain-softening due to microcracking and contains aggregate pieces that are not necessarily small compared to structural dimensions is developed.

A General Theory of Strength for Anisotropic Materials

TL;DR: In this article, an operationally simple strength criterion for anisotropic materials is developed from a scalar function of two strength tensors, which satisfies the invariant requirements of coordinate transforma tion, takes into account the difference in strengths due to positive and negative stresses, and can be specialized to account for different material symmetries, multi-dimensional space, and multi-axial stresses.

Q1. What have the authors contributed in "A localized mapped damage model for orthotropic materials" ?

This paper presents an implicit orthotropic model based on the Continuum Damage Mechanics isotropic models. 

A major advantage lies in the possibility of adjusting an isotropic criterion to the particular behaviour of the orthotropic material. Complex orthotropic damage threshold surfaces can be built by using simpler and well-known isotropic ones, hence avoiding the complex anisotropic yield functions normally adopted in Plasticity. The model can be used for the analysis of different orthotropic materials, such as wood, fibre reinforced composites and masonry. Since the computational costs is limited, it can be used in large scale computations [ 47,68,69 ].
