Smeared crack approach: back to the original track (2006, background): “Reference [22] presents a review of damagebased approaches for the fracture of quasi-brittle materials, linking them to the now old-fashioned, although still very popular, fixed and rotating smeared crack models of those years.”
Softening, localization and stabilization: capture of discontinuous solutions in J2 plasticity (2004, background): “In the cases of elastic incompressibility or smooth widespread, non-localizing, plastic responses, they are able to preclude the pressure oscillations that arise if the standard Galerkin method is used (see References [25, 26]).”
Modeling of graphene–polymer interfacial mechanical behavior using molecular dynamics (2008, background): “The shape of the force–displacement response in complete separation cases of both opening and sliding modes, as studied above, resembles the cohesive law in quasi-brittle materials (de Borst 2002).”
From local to global probabilistic modeling of concrete cracking (2010, unknown): “damage models [23, 24], smeared crack-like approaches [25, 26], enriched kinematics models [27, 28], plasticity models [20], .”
Simulation of Highly Ductile Fiber-Reinforced Cement-Based Composite Components Under Cyclic Loading (2003, background): “Different modeling approaches of concrete cracking are well summarized in de Borst (1997).”
