A multiscale framework for the simulation of the anisotropic mechanical behavior of shale
Weixin Li, Roozbeh Rezakhani, Congrui Jin +2
Shale, like many other sedimentary rocks, is typically heterogeneous, anisotropic, and is characterized by partial alignment of anisotropic clay minerals and naturally formed beddi…
Elastic Microplane Formulation for Transversely Isotropic Materials
Congrui Jin, Marco Salviato, Weixin Li +1
This contribution investigates the extension of the microplane formulation to the description of transversely isotropic materials such as shale rock, foams, unidirectional composit…
Direct Testing of Gradual PostPeak Softening of Notched Specimens of Fiber Composites Stabilized by Enhanced Stiffness and Mass
Zdenek P. Bazant, Viet T. Chau, Gianluca Cusatis +1
Static and dynamic analysis of the fracture tests of fiber composites in hydraulically servo-controlled testing machines currently in use shows that their grips are much too soft a…
