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:

Variational formulation of softening phenomena in fracture mechanics. The one-dimensional case
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that discrete models of atoms subject to nearest-neighbour nonlinear interactions approximate continua allowing for softening and fracture, and a detailed study of local minima and stationary points was carried out.

Large volume, high-performance applications of fibers in civil engineering
TL;DR: An overview of fiber applications in cementitious composites is presented in this article, where the socioeconomic considerations surrounding materials development in civil engineering in general, and fiber reinforced cementitious materials in particular, are described.

Simulation of delamination growth in multidirectional laminates under mode I and mixed mode I/II loadings using cohesive elements
TL;DR: In this article, a numerical model for accurately predicting the delamination propagation in multidirectional laminates under mode I and mixedmode I/II loadings using the cohesive element is proposed.

Cohesive crack with rate-dependent opening and viscoelasticity: I. mathematical model and scaling
Zdeněk P. Bažant,Yuan Neng Li +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a general compliance formulation of the cohesive crack model was proposed for concrete structures, where the fracture process zone (cohesive zone) is large and cannot be neglected in comparison to the structure dimensions.
