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:

Fully-automatic modelling of cohesive crack growth using a finite element-scaled boundary finite element coupled method
Zhenjun Yang,Andrew Deeks +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a method coupling the finite element method (FEM) and the scaled boundary finite element (SBFEM), which is capable of fully-automatically predicting both satisfactory crack trajectories and accurate load displacement relations with a small number of degrees of freedom.

Energy-Based Cohesive Crack Propagation Modeling
Ming Xie,Walter H. Gerstle +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an energy-based approach for the finite-element modeling of mixed-mode cohesive crack propagation is presented. But the approach is limited to a single edge-notched shear beam.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling of delamination using a discretized cohesive zone and damage formulation
TL;DR: In this article, a discrete cohesive crack model is presented, where the delamination is constrained to grow along a tied interface and the model is derived by postulating the existence of a maximum load surface which limits the adhesive forces in the process zone of the crack.

ATENA — A tool for engineering analysis of fracture in concrete
TL;DR: In this paper, three nonlinear material models available in ATENA are described: crack band model based on fracture energy, fracture-plastic model with non-associated plasticity and microplane material model.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review on concrete fracture energy and effective parameters
TL;DR: An overview of the available approaches in determining the fracture energy of concrete and effective parameters is presented and includes experimental methods which form the basis for measuring the fracture energies obtained from work of fracture and size effect models and thus provides a comparison between different models.
