Analysis of crack formation and crack growth in concrete by means of fracture mechanics and finite elements
TLDR
In this article, fracture mechanics is introduced into finite element analysis by means of a model where stresses are assumed to act across a crack as long as it is narrowly opened, which may be regarded as a way of expressing the energy adsorption in the energy balance approach.About:

Applications of Stress Crack Width Relationship in Predicting the Flexural Behavior of Fibre-Reinforced Concrete
J Zhang,Henrik Stang +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a semi-analytical model for the flexure behavior of fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) materials has been presented based on the equilibrium of force in the critical cracked section.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mesh objective modeling of cracks using continuous linear strain and displacement interpolations
TL;DR: In this article, the problem of tensile and mixed-mode cracking within the so-called smeared crack approach is addressed, and a (stabilized) mixed formulation with continuous linear strain and displacement interpolations is used.

Cohesive zone length of orthotropic materials undergoing delamination
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of existing analytic expressions to predict the cohesive zone length of homogeneous orthotropic materials with a crack growing under pure mode I or pure mode II.

Characterizing mode II delamination cracks in stitched composites
TL;DR: In this article, the bridging mechanism developed across delamination cracks by through-thickness reinforcement, using stitched carbon/epoxy laminates under mode II loading as a prime example, is investigated.
