Bresser, D. (author), Rots, J.G. (author), Hendriks, M.A.N. (author), Pari, M. (author)Sequentially Linear Analysis (SLA), an event-by-event solution strategy in which a sequence of scaled linear analyses with decreasing secant stiffness is performed, representing local damage increments; is a robust alternative to nonlinear finite element analysis of quasi-brittle structures. Since it is based on a fixed smeared crack...journal article 2023

Pari, M. (author), van de Graaf, Anne (author), Hendriks, M.A.N. (author), Rots, J.G. (author)In the finite element modelling of masonry structures, the micro-modelling technique of differentiating the continuum into a linear elastic bulk, and interfaces representing non-linear joints is common. However, this approach of simulating cracking-crushing-shearing failure possibilities in interfaces, typical of damage in masonry, also poses...journal article 2021
