Quasi-Brittle Fracture: The Blended Approach
Semsi Coskun, Davood Damircheli, Robert Lipton
A field theory is presented for predicting damage and fracture in quasi-brittle materials. The approach taken here is new and blends a non-local constitutive law with a two-point p…

Crushing, Comminution and Fracture: Extreme Particle Deformation in Three-Dimensional Granular Aggregates
Debdeep Bhattacharya, Davood Damircheli, Robert P. Lipton
We present a high-fidelity three dimensional computational framework for simulating the bulk mechanical behavior of granular aggregates composed of deformable brittle grains. Depar…
