Abstract

Recently proposed damage models are presented and compared. In addition, a deterministic algorithm for nonlinear fatigue damage monitoring is presented and discussed. Furthermore, the commonly adopted functional forms for damage modelling is proposed and the adequacy [...]

Abstract

In polycrystalline alloys, fatigue damage is strongly influenced by the microstructure. Nowadays crystal plasticity models are used in order to take into account the crystallography and microstructural mechanisms but there is no consensus on crack initiation sites and their most [...]

Abstract

Oxygen diffusion has an important influence on the corrosion process of reinforced concrete structures. In the marine environment, concrete is subject to both fatigue loads and periodic drying-wetting conditions. In this study, the oxygen diffusion performance of damaged concrete [...]
