By considering masonry as a composite material, its mechanical properties are obtained by taking into account the properties of the components (bricks and mortar) through a homogenisation technique. To describe the behaviour of the material components a unilateral damage model is proposed. This mode

An improved micro-mechanical model for masonry homogenisation in the non-linear domain, is proposed and validated by comparison with experimental and numerical results available in the literature. Suitably chosen deformation mechanisms, coupled with damage and plasticity models, can simulate the beh
A model is developed for damage produced by the growth of isolated grain boundary cavities under power law creep. This damage model is combined with the small scale yielding stress and strain fields to predict the damage ahead of a stationary and a steadily propagating crack tip in an elastic-power
