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:

Experimental and numerical studies of double-nosed projectile impact on aluminum plates
TL;DR: In this article, the failure modes and ballistic resistance of aluminum targets subjected to the normal impact of double-nosed projectiles were investigated using ABAQUS/Explicit finite element code.

Development of Discrete Cracks in Concrete Loaded by Shock Waves
TL;DR: In this paper, a discrete crack model is used in combination with a fracture process zone to simulate the cohesive behavior of cracks in concrete, and the simulation model used shows good agreement with the experimental crack pattern.

Oblique impact on single, layered and spaced mild steel targets by 7.62 AP projectiles
TL;DR: In this paper, the ballistic performance of monolithic and multi-layered in contact and spaced mild steel target plates has been studied at normal and oblique impact against 7.62 AP projectiles with an objective to ascertain the effect of angle of obliquity.

Structural analysis of a multi-span railway masonry bridge combining in situ observations, laboratory tests and damage modelling
TL;DR: In this article, a structural analysis by means of an orthotropic damage model of a multi-span masonry railway bridge built in the early years of the 20 th century is presented, which allows for the current bridge mechanical behaviour under service loads to be assessed and the ultimate load to be forecast.

Taguchi analysis of bonded composite single-lap joints using a combined interface–adhesive damage model
TL;DR: In this article, a finite element model was developed using a combined interface-adhesive damage approach, and a cohesive zone model was used to represent the composite interface and a continuum damage model for the adhesive bondline.
