Cohesive Zone Modelling and the Fracture Process of Cement-Based Composites
Vladislav Kozák,
Jiří Vala
Abstract:Computational modelling of quasi-brittle fracture in cement-based composites needs to cover both i) the damage caused by micro-fractured zones, referring to some nonlocal strain-stress relations, respecting quite different behaviour of such composites in tension and compression, and ii) the initiation and propagation of macroscopic cracks, exploiting the cohesive zone model, handled by some modification of the finite element technique, together with the discretization in time. A fundamental issue for such mode… Show more
