Sentence examples for discontinuous damage from inspiring English sources

The smaller, "immature" fault zone displays a discontinuous damage zone, because tectonic deformations have been accommodated differently according to the initial properties of the host rock.

Numerical simulations indicate that only a mixed model that consider both, continuous and discontinuous, damage models is able to capture the softening phenomenon of soft biological tissues.

This paper presents and compare continuous and discontinuous damage approaches to model softening effects in fibered materials such as soft biological tissues.

In contrast to fracture mechanics that considers the process of initiation and growth of microcracks as a discontinuous phenomenon, continuum damage mechanics uses a continuous variable that is related to the density of the defects to describe the deterioration of the material before the initiation of macro-cracks.

However, traditional numerical methods derived from classical continuum mechanics have difficulties in resolving discontinuous problems like ice damage.

Non-linear mechanical behavior such as phase transformation, discontinuous yielding and micro-damage of four kinds of commercial stainless steel-based material were quantitatively investigated by measuring transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) and threshold strain for 2nd hardening.

By contrast, discontinuous infills can inflict serious damage localised at the points of discontinuity in the frame members.

During the long-time operation of salt rock storage cavern, between its formations, damaged interfaces induced by discontinuous creep deformations between adjacent layers will possibly lead to serious gas leakage.

This work aims at evaluating the potential of hierarchical discontinuous carbon-fibre reinforced polymers to achieve damage tolerance, by a combination of modelling and experiments.

This paper describes the formulation of an interface damage model, based on the discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method, for the simulation of failure and crack propagation in laminated structures.

Indeed, the transition from a damage continuous approach to a discontinuous fracture is not straightforward both from mechanical and numerical points of view.
