DOI: 10.1103/physreve.96.033006
Abstract: We investigate the effect of the amount of disorder on the shrinkage-induced cracking of a thin brittle layer attached to a substrate. Based on a discrete element model we study how the dynamics of cracking… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/app8040488
Abstract: Modeling restrained shrinkage-induced damage and cracking in concrete is addressed herein. The novel Thick Level Set (TLS) damage growth and crack propagation model is used and adapted by introducing shrinkage contribution into the formulation. The… read more here.
