A non-classical continuum approach to study the fragmentation of brittle solids
In this thesis, a non-local continuum approach coupled with the phase-field theory and Jones-Wilkins-Lee (JWL) equation of state (EOS) is proposed to model and simulate blast-induced fracture in brittle materials. Also, ... -
Understanding failure in heterogeneous materials
The failure of heterogeneous materials is a practical problem that occurs in several diverse applications. Material heterogeneity can arise from porosity (e.g., due to some processing history), variation in continuum-scale ...
