An existing ®nite element (FE) model of structural concrete is extended so as to also allow for crack closure in localized regions of a structure. The model is used to study the behaviour of structural concrete members under various types of loading, encompassing both proportional and sequential loa
The creep of reticulated metallic foams is studied through the finite element method using three-dimensional, periodic unit cells with four different architectures characterized by struts which deform primarily by: (i) simple bending, (ii) compression, (iii) a combination of simple bending and compr
In this paper, the extended finite element method (XFEM) is used for a discrete crack simulation of concrete using an adaptive crack growth algorithm. Different criteria for predicting the direction of the extension of a cohesive crack are investigated in the context of the XFEM. The robustness of t
