The fracture model for softening materials called the Damage Zone Model (DZM), is found to be basically insensitive to small errors in the constituents. However, the constituent Gr (the apparent fracture energy) is deduced from an experimentally determined notched strength by using DZM. This may cau

Almtraet-A cohesive damage zone model of the Dugdale-Barenblatt type is presented to explore the effects of microscopic damage on a macroscopic crack in ductile materials. A semi-intinite macrocrack in a power-law plastic material under antiplane shear (mode III) is considered. The microscopic damag
Based on the CFAST model, this paper describes a two-layer zone model developed to predict the environment in a multi-compartment structure subjected to a fire. The predictive equations, fire sub-processes and algorithm are concisely described. In order to validate the model and program a series of
