Abstract:
A new method of characterizing the damage of high strength concrete structures is presented, which is based on the deformation energy double parameters damage model and incorporates both of the main forms of damage by earthquakes: first time damage beyond destruction and energy consumption. Firstly, test data of high strength reinforced concrete (RC) columns were evaluated. Then, the relationship between stiffness degradation, strength degradation, and ductility performance was obtained. And an expression for damage in terms of model parameters was determined, as well as the critical input dat

Abstract:
Although various models exist for envelope curves of concrete confined by transverse reinforcement, only a few simple models represent the hysteretic behavior of the confined concrete; therefore, development of stress–strain model of unloading and reloading paths for confined concrete is needed. In this paper, an experimental and numerical investigation for describing the cyclic stress–strain behavior of lateral ties confined and polyolefin fibre reinforced concrete (CPFRC) prisms under repeated axial compressive loading is presented. The study focuses on the effect of repeated unloading and r

Abstract:
Full range analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) members covering the post-crack and post-peak regimes is important for obtaining the deformation response and failure mode of structural members. When a RC member is subject to an increasing external load, the critical sections would exhibit cracking and/or softening. Due to stress relief effect in the proximity of crack opening and plastic hinging, unloading may occur at the adjacent regions. The variable stress states of discrete sections would lead to sectional variation of stiffness, which could not be accounted for by conventional structural

Abstract:
Cyclic loads are commonly encountered in geotechnical engineering; however most constitutive models do not account for the effect that such loads can have on the mechanical behaviour of soils and rocks. This work is concerned with the behaviour of jointed rock and, as the overall mechanical behaviour of jointed rock is usually dominated by the mechanical behaviour of the joints, it is focused on the behaviour of rock joints under cyclic loads. In particular, an extension of the existed constitutive model for cyclically loaded rock joints is presented. Variations of rock joint stiffness in both

Abstract:
In this study, a soil–tunnel model for clay under earthquake loading is analyzed, using finite element methods and a kinematic hardening model with the Von Mises failure criterion. The results are compared with those from the linear elastic–perfectly plastic Mohr–Coulomb model. The latter model does not consider the stiffness degradation caused by imposing cyclic loading and unloading to the soil, whereas the kinematic hardening model can simulate this stiffness degradation. The parameters of the kinematic hardening model are calibrated based on the results of experimental cyclic tests and fin

Abstract:
The weld form of intersecting joints in a steel tubular truss structure changes with the various intersecting curves. As the key role of joints in energy dissipation and seismic resistance, the weld is easy to damage, as a result the constitutive behavior of the weld is different from that of the base metal. In order to define the cumulative damage characteristic and study the constitutive behavior of welded metal with the influence of damage accumulation, low-cycle fatigue tests were carried out to evaluate overall response characteristics and to quantify variation of cyclic stress amplitude,

The non-linear response of solids is an expression of irreversible processes that originate in microdefects, which are understood as initial material damage. This work aims to analyze the degradation of the mechanical properties of medium density polyethylene through continuum damage mechanics using Digital Image Correlation (DIC). With this technique, displacement and strain fields are obtained throughout the specimen gauge length and therefore optical gauges in any region of interest can measure the strain.

This paper presents an experimental investigation on the stress-strain behavior and damage evolution of steel-polypropylene hybrid fiber reinforced concrete (HFRC) with different fiber types, volume fractions, and aspect ratios. The damage evolution laws of HFRC were obtained using uniaxial cyclic compression and tension tests. The results show that the addition of hybrid fiber has a significant synergetic effect on the mechanical behavior of concrete. The peak strength, peak strain, toughness, and postpeak ductility of HFRC under both tension and compression are improved, and the damage accum

UD glass/PA6 coupons with an open hole are subjected to tensile and compressive loading. Three layups: [0/90]5s, [+45/−45]5s and [+45/0/−45/90]3s with a shape based on ASTM D5766 were tested. Both monotonic loading as well as loading–unloading–reloading tests were executed. The strain field on the sample surface was measured with digital image correlation. This allowed identifying the distribution of the strain field during loading, permanent deformation and the evolution of the sample elastic modulus. This information is not frequently measured.

Deterioration in the mechanical properties of concrete, masonry and steel structures are usually observed under repeated cyclic loading in the inelastic response range. Therefore such a behavior becomes critical when these types of structures are subjected to ground motions with specific characteristics.

This paper studies the loading-unloading behaviors of a 3D-printing built bi-material structure consisting of an open-cellular plaster frame filled with silicone. The combination of the plaster (ceramic phase) and silicone (elastomer phase) is hypothesized to possess a non-linearly elastic property and a better ductility. Four-point bending test with programmed cycles of preceding deformations was conducted. The results show that there exists a linear-nonlinear transition when the bending deflection is around 2 mm in the first cycle bending. As the cycle proceeds, this transition is found at t

Abstract:
Hysteresis is a non-linear phenomenon exhibited by the mechanical systems. Beyond elastic limit the loading and unloading path of most of the system will differ and that nonlinear path is indicated by hysteresis. The reason for shape of hysteretic cure may due to either changes in material properties beyond the elastic range or due to the changes in structural geometry because of subjected load. This response is a function of both immediate deformation and the previous residual deformation acted on it since it represents the dissipated energy of structure.
