Analysis of crack formation and crack growth in concrete by means of fracture mechanics and finite elements

Arne Hillerborg, +2 more

- Vol. 6, Iss: 6, pp 773-781
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.

The wedge splitting test, a new method of performing stable fracture mechanics tests

Eugen Brühwiler, +1 more
- 01 Jan 1990 - 
TL;DR: The wedge splitting test as discussed by the authors is a new test method to perform stable fracture mechanics tests on concrete and concrete-like materials, where specific fracture energy and fracture toughness are determined using simple specimens like cubes or cylinders.

Phase-field modeling of fracture

Jian-Ying Wu, +5 more
TL;DR: This chapter provides an extensive overview of the literature on the so-called phase-field fracture/damage models (PFMs), particularly, for quasi-static and dynamic fracture of brittle and quasi-brittle materials, from the points of view of a computational mechanician.
