Abstract:ABSTRACT. An incremental formulation suitable for modelling of materials with damaging viscoelastic behaviours is proposed in this work. A constitutive law based on linear viscoelasticity coupled with strain dependent damage is developed. The viscoelastic model is represented by a generalized Maxwell's chain. It is governed by a set of internal stress variables attached to the branches of the Maxwell's chain. The damage evolution is governed by values gained by a pseudo strain. The coupled law is turned into a… Show more
