In-situ X-CT Test on Mortar Micro-specimen Coupled with Mesoscale Numerical Simulations of Fracture

Damage Quantification via Digital Volume Correlation with Heterogeneous Mechanical Regularization: Application to an In situ Meso-Flexural Test on Mortar

“…Second, the contrast C was set to E i /Em = 70.0/13.3 = 5.26, which corresponds to realistic properties of mortar constituents when inclusions were more rigid that the cementitious matrix [59]. Third, the case C = 0.5 was considered, which implied that inclusions were more compliant than the matrix.…”
