Three-Parameter Damage Evolution for Quasi-Brittle Solids

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper aims to investigate the performance of a new three-parameter damage mechanics model which describes three basic damage mechanisms of quasi-brittle solids: tension, shear, and hydrostatic compression. The stress is first decomposed into its positive part and negative part, and then the latter is further decomposed into its deviatoric part and hydrostatic part, whereby a three-parameter damage description is formulated. Through matrix representation of the tensor formulation, specific forms of the three-parameter damage theory are illustrated in various stress states. It is found that the proposed framework of three-parameter damage theory can inherit the existing two-parameter models and extend them to a broader scope of application.
