✦ Synopsis

Understanding the mechanisms and modalities of damage progression close to discontinuities in solids, such as joints, is of great importance for applications in different fields. The interaction between damage and elasticity causes a nonlinear elastic response of the sample to a stress excitation (e.g. in the ultrasonic frequency range). Extracting physical or mechanical information on the sample properties from recorded ultrasonic signals requires a realistic model and an efficient detection method, as it will be discussed in this paper. We study here the successive phases that concrete samples with discontinuities enter by progressively increase the applied external load. Considerations on the mechanisms of damage progression are derived from experimental data using a Preisach-Mayergoyz space approach, developed in order to capture all the observed behaviors.

A method of wavefront analysis is used to study the formation of shock waves in a twodimensional steady supersonic flow of a non-ideal radiating gas past plane and axisymmetric bodies. The gas is taken to be sufficiently hot for the effect of thermal radiation to be significant, which is, of course,

Scalar damage models are very often implemented in computational analyses in order to predict the response and failure modes of concrete and reinforced concrete structures. In most situations, however, damage is not isotropic but has preferential directions. Therefore, there have been many questions

A dynamic damage constitutive relationship for concrete in uniaxial tension is, with certain hypotheses, achieved through the constitutive model together with some performance tests of high rate deformation.

Surfur concrete is a thermoplastic mixture of elemental sulfur with a fine and coarse aggregate (I). In order to be prepared, it must be heated above the melting point of sulfur, (llg°C for yellow sulfur (2)). At this temperature, sulfur liquifies and lubricates the aggregate and converts it into a
