Energy damage model

In short fiber composites, energy absorption mechanisms, such as interfacial debonding and matrix cracking, most often occur at the fiber ends (Curtis et al., 1978). The damage model proposed by Bader et al. (1979) assumes that short fiber composites fail over a critical cross-section which has been weakened by the accumulation of cracks, since the short fibers bridging this critical zone are unable to carry the load. In fatigue loading, sudden fracture takes place as a direct result from the far-field effect of the composite, rather than due to the near field of the crack tip... 

One such application of RSEs, or their constituent bond dissociation energies, is in the study of radical-mediated degradation mechanisms. For example, based on an examination of the relevant C-H and S-H bond dissociation energies in model peptides. Rank et al. postulated a mechanism for generating and propagating oxidative damage via a Met residue of the Ap peptide of Alzheimer s disease or the prion peptide of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. In a similar manner, Li et al. used C-H BDE calculations to identify the most vulnerable sites for radical-mediated damage in...

In the case of materials which can undergo non-reversible deformations the plasticity model formulated in the material configuration is used for predicting their mechanical response. Assuming small elastic, finite plastic deformations, an adequate form of the free energy density and analogous procedures as those for the damage model we have... 

As a result of the above three conditions (Section 4.14-4.16), the Titanic got serious hull damage and sank after the collision. Therefore, get serious hull damage and sink is applicable to the energy-barrier model and conflicting objectives perspective. 

The numerical sidesway collapse prediction depends on the model capabilities. Historically, the first nonlinear numerical models did not include deteriorating characteristics, and damage indexes were developed to predict collapse based on maximum displacements and/or dissipated energy. The most widespread cumulative damage model was the Park-Ang model (Park and Ang 1985), which was developed specifically for reinforced concrete components. The damage measure (DM) consisted of a linear combination of displacement and energy demands ...
