A novel discrete damage zone model and enhancement of the extended finite element method for fracture mechanics problems
… solutions are not available. For linear elastic materials, Branch functions are commonly used as crack tip enrichments. Typically, these are four functions derived from linear elasticity theory and added as additional degrees of freedom. However, for general inelastic material behavior, …

Modeling and Simulation of Random Processes and Fields in Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics
… and simulation of problems arising in Civil Engineering and Applied Mechanics. There are two distinct parts. Part 1 covers work in modeling and analyzing heterogeneous materials using the eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM) with arbitrarily shaped inclusions. A novel enrichment function, …

Stress Transfer and Structural Failure of Bilayered Material Systems
… adhesive anchor design cannot account for viscoelastic creep failure, and consequently results in dangerously under-designed structural systems. In this dissertation, a method for determining the two-dimensional stress and displacement fields for a generalized bilayered material system is …

Lattice-based peridynamic modeling of linear elastic solids
… is a complex material often used in civil engineering structures. This quasi-brittle material, when reinforced with steel, develops cohesive cracks under loading even though it has adequate strength to carry service loads. Concrete often cracks even before the application of load, due to …
