Modelling Localisation and Spatial Scaling of Constitutive Behaviour: a Kinematically Enriched Continuum Approach

Giang Dinh Nguyen, Chi Thanh Nguyen, Vinh Phu Nguyen

It is well known that classical constitutive models fail to capture the post-peak material behaviour, due to localisation of deformation. In such cases the concept of Representativ…
