Modeling Creep Fracture in Rock by Using Kelvin Discretized Virtual Internal Bond
Wangyang He,Zhennan Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a hybrid hyperelastic-Kelvin bond was used to model the creep fracture, which is done by introducing a viscous bond to the original holographic DVIB.

Fundamental Problems of Modeling the Fracture Processes in Concrete II: Size Effect and Selection of the Solution Approach
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the last two of those problems: size effect (scaling laws) and decision making what would be the best way in solving problems of modeling the fracture processes in concrete and concrete structures.

A discrete numerical model for granular assemblies
Peter Cundall,Otto D. L. Strack +1 more
TL;DR: The distinct element method as mentioned in this paper is a numerical model capable of describing the mechanical behavior of assemblies of discs and spheres and is based on the use of an explicit numerical scheme in which the interaction of the particles is monitored contact by contact and the motion of the objects modelled particle by particle.

Gradient enhanced damage for quasi-brittle materials
TL;DR: In this article, a consistent numerical solution procedure of the governing partial differential equations is presented, which is shown to be capable of properly simulating localization phenomena, and the introduction of higher-order deformation gradients in the constitutive model is demonstrated to be an adequate remedy to this deficiency of standard damage models.
