The stochastic description of large strain plasticity is required in many practical problems in which material properties (e.g. concrete, bone, rock) and/or external load [...]

Micromechanics is employed in order to define the whole nonlinear inelastic behavior of a structure at meso/macro scale level where the presence of the inelastic phenomen [...]

Inelastic structural models used for performance-based design intrinsically dissipate a part of the total amount of the seismic energy imparted to the structure. To take [...]

In this paper we present an embedded reinforced concrete finite element modeling the crack opening in the concrete and taking into account the non linear bond slip behavi [...]

Accurate modeling of damping in nonlinear analysis of structures in seismic loading has become a challenging issue. As an alternative to commonly used global damping mode [...]

In this work we address several issues pertaining to efficiency of the computational approach geared towards modeling of inelastic behavior of a heterogeneous materials w [...]

During the three-point bending test, a concrete specimen is damaged by cracking. Brancherie and Ibrahimbegović are authors of a relatively simple model capable of descri [...]

Presented paper is concerned with the numerical modeling of quasibrittle materials such as concrete. Brancherie and Ibrahimbegovic are authors of a simple model capable o [...]
