Localization Study of a Non-Local Energetic Damage Model

Abstract

The contribution presents an analysis of a rate-independent non-local damage model, recently proposed by (Mielke and Roubicek, 2006). An analytical as well as numerical solution of a simple one-dimensional bifurcation problem is performed, demonstrating that, for the elementary localization test, the model is free of pathological features.

arXiv commentThis paper has been withdrawn by the authors due incorrect form of the local-displacement diagram shown in Figure 3(b); the correct solution always exhibits snapback at the structural level.
