The fatigue behavior of an adhesively bonded joint is of key importance to its long-term structural integrity. However, the complex stress distribution inside a bonded joint does not make it easy to evaluate the fatigue behavior. This chapter discusses the various approaches that have been developed for predicting the fatigue behavior of...

Research in the field of self-healing materials gained significant attention in the last decade owing to its promise of enhanced durability of the material components in engineering applications. Though the research has led to several successful demonstrations, extensive experimental tests will be required for a successful demonstration. Further...

It is difficult to accurately predict the strength of masonry and concrete structures. The most widely used method for simulating their behaviour is finite element analysis with the Newton-Raphson method and arch length control. However, the Newton-Raphson method can diverge and not produce a result, for example in bifurcations or during snap...

Developing accurate and robust numerical approaches that are capable of modeling fracture in solids has been a challenging undertaking in the computational mechanics community for decades. Models based on a continuous formulation or on a discontinuous one have been proposed by numerous authors, expanding upon abilities and disadvantages of these...

Surface cracks are serious threats to the structural integrity of offshore metallic pipes. This dissertation proposes a protocol of composite reinforcement on surface cracked metallic pipes subjected to cyclic loads, aiming to decrease the crack growth rate and prolong the residual fatigue life. The main objective of this dissertation is to...

In the framework of the Finite Element Method, zero-thickness interface elements have been widely used to model fracturing processes in quasi-brittle materials in a broad variety of problems. In particular, interface elements equipped with elastoplastic constitutive laws that account for the softening of the material strength parameters due...

This work represents the first step towards the application of machine learning techniques in the prediction of statistical design allowables of composite laminates. Building on data generated analytically, four machine algorithms (XGBoost, Random Forests, Gaussian Processes and Artificial Neural Networks) are used to predict the notched...

The Thick Level Set method (TLS) is an approach for non-local damage modeling in which the damage evolution is linked to the movement of a damage front described with the level set method. More recently, a new version of the TLS, designated as the TLSV2, has been proposed as a new concept for coupling continuum damage modeling and discrete...

Defects in additively manufactured materials are one of the leading sources of uncertainty in mechanical fatigue. Fracture mechanics concepts are useful to evaluate their influence, nevertheless, these approaches cannot account for the real morphology of defects. Preliminary attempts to exploit a more comprehensive description of defects can...

A new enriched finite element technique, named the Discontinuity-Enriched Finite Element Method (DE-FEM), was introduced recently for solving problems with both weak and strong discontinuities in 2-D. In this mesh-independent procedure, enriched degrees of freedom are added to new nodes collocated at the intersections between discontinuities...

The thermal cyclic behavior of self-healing thermal barrier coatings (SH-TBC) is analyzed numerically to develop a lifetime prediction model. Representative microstructures are studied adopting a unit cell based multiscale modeling approach along with a simplified evolution model for the thermally-grown oxide layer (TGO) to study the...
