Overview

New blended approach models fracture behavior in quasi-brittle materials, indicating improved parameter identification.

Key Points

  • The model captures cyclic load-deflection responses accurately in quasi-brittle materials, enhancing predictive modeling.
  • Numerical simulations show alignment with experimental results, especially in concrete three-point bending tests.
  • Key parameters like fracture toughness and tensile strength are easily identified, streamlining material behavior representation.
  • The theory integrates energy balance principles naturally from the governing equations, strengthening its foundational approach.
