Nonlocal interactions of material points play a vital role in modelling certain important aspects of inelastic phenomena such as plasticity and damage in solids. For plasticity problems, nonlocal interactions allow ...

Concrete is the most widely used material in the world for construction of infrastructures and there are quite a few gaps in understanding its behaviour under different loads. Fracture in concrete occurs at pre-existing ...

Concrete structures such as bridges, pavements and off shore structures are subjected to fluctuating loading throughout their service life. These fluctuating loads cause progressive internal damage to structures leading ...
