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:

Some Notes on Microcracking, Softening, Localization, and Size Effects:
Jan G. M. van Mier,Hau-Kit Man +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the fracture process in tension can be sub-divided in four stages: elastic, micro-cracking, macro-cracks growth (localization), and bridging, and the various fracture stages can be simulated using models that allow for local brittle mode I fracture and where the material structure has been included.

Performance of reinforced concrete shear walls with steel reinforced concrete boundary columns
TL;DR: In this article, a finite element (FE) model was developed and used to simulate the composite shear walls under constant axial load and lateral loading, and a series of tests were conducted to investigate the strength, ductility and energy dissipation of the tested models, as well as to verify the FE model.

Cohesive zone model based analytical solutions for adhesively bonded pipe joints under torsional loading
Zhenyu Ouyang,Guoqiang Li +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived analytical solutions for the bonded pipe joints under torsion by using the cohesive zone model (CZM) based analytical solutions and showed that when the bond length of the pipe joint is longer than a certain value, further increase in bond length cannot bring any significant increase in Torsion load capacity.

General remarks on cyclic cohesive zone models
Meinhard Kuna,Stephan Roth +1 more
TL;DR: A review of cyclic cohesive zone models is given in this paper, where the authors compare established models with a model recently proposed by the authors and some numerical examples are presented for illustration, dealing with fatigue crack growth, uniaxial fatigue life prediction, and intergranular fatigue damage.

Ductility of fiber-reinforced self-consolidating concrete under multi-axial compression
TL;DR: In this article, the results of 12 multi-axial compression tests performed on cylinders made of self-consolidating concrete, plain (SCC) and reinforced with steel fibers (FR-SCC), are presented.
