An advanced continuum damage mechanics model for predicting the crack progress process based on the consideration of the influence of crack direction under quasi-static load
(Elsevier: International Journal of Mechanical Sciences., 2017-09)
In reality the wrong crack path can be generally obtained in the case of arbitrary crack propagation by traditional continuum damage mechanics (CDM). In this paper a novel advanced continuum damage mechanics (ACDM) method ...
A computational methodology for simulating quasi-brittle fracture problems
(Elsevier: Computers & Structures, 2019-04-15)
The paper focuses on an efficient and simple methodologies for simulating the three dimensional (3D) quasi-brittle fracture problems. Strain-softening is performed on the elements by a developed anisotropic continuum damage ...
Dynamically dimensioned search embedded with piecewise opposition-based learning for global optimization
(2019-05-26)
Dynamically dimensioned search (DDS) is a well-known optimization algorithm in the field of single solution-based heuristic global search algorithms. Its successful application in the calibration of watershed environmental ...
