Computational Modeling of Damage Based on Microcrack Kinking

Dobrovat, A. M. ; Dascalu, C. and Hall, Stephen LU (2015) In International Journal for Multiscale Computational Engineering 13(3). p.201-217
Abstract
The paper presents numerical results for a two-scale damage model accounting for mixed-mode propagation of micro-cracks. A time-dependent propagation criterion is assumed for microcrack growth and a kinking direction criterion based on the maximum of the energy-release rate is used. The macroscopic damage evolution laws are obtained by homogenization based on asymptotic developments. A numerical procedure based on finite elements is developed for the two-scale model and simulations illustrating the structural response are presented. A priori microscopic computations increase the efficiency of the computational model at the scale of macroscopic structures. The resulting homogenized behavior involves softening and localization of damage.... (More)
