Published in 2017 at "Engineering Fracture Mechanics"

DOI: 10.1016/j.engfracmech.2016.12.012

Abstract: Abstract The Thick Level-Set (TLS) model is implemented to simulate brittle media undergoing dynamic fragmentation. This non-local model is discretized by the finite element method with damage represented as a continuous field over the domain.… read more here.

Published in 2017 at "Engineering Fracture Mechanics"

DOI: 10.1016/j.engfracmech.2017.05.007

Abstract: The last decade has seen a growing interest in cohesive zone models for fatigue applications. These cohesive zone models often suffer from a lack of generality and applying them typically requires calibrating a large number… read more here.

Published in 2018 at "Engineering Fracture Mechanics"

DOI: 10.1016/j.engfracmech.2017.12.036

Abstract: Abstract This paper couples bulk damage modeling and cohesive zone modeling to get the benefits of both. Damage brings the directionality for the crack propagation as well as the possibility of crack branching while cohesive… read more here.

Published in 2020 at "Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics"

DOI: 10.1016/j.tafmec.2020.102645

Abstract: Abstract This paper presents a new model for simulating delamination growth in composites in presence of the resistance curve (R-curve) effects. This model is extended from the interface thick level set (ITLS) method which is… read more here.

Published in 2018 at "Applied Sciences"

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.
