The effect of heat on clay behaviour is characterized by non-linearity and irreversibility. Due to the complex influence of temperature, thermomechanical factors have to be taken into account for the numerical simulation of the behaviour of such materials. A cyclic thermo-viscoplastic model is devel

โฆ Synopsis
The use of a viscoplastic approach to dynamic fracture prediction is proposed with the aim of producing a model which is applicable to ductile situations. A numerical (finiteelement) approach is adopted with specially developed joint elements being used to simulate behaviour within the fracture-process zone. Results are presented for an expanding edge-crack problem. Experimental results are used to calibrate the numerical model by determining the material-specimen parameters under dynamic-fracturing conditions. Detailed results are presented for both LEFM and nonlinear fracture-mechanics approaches.

This paper presents a damage-viscoplastic consistency model for numerical simulation of brittle fracture in heterogeneous rocks. The model is based on a combination of the recent viscoplastic consistency model by Wang and the isotropic damage concept with separate damage variables in tension and com
Up to now, a number of models have been proposed and discussed to describe a wide range of inelastic behaviours of materials. The fatal problem of using such models is however the existence of model errors, and the problem remains inevitably as far as a material model is written explicitly. In this
