    Notes: Masonry structure is heterogeneous and has been widely used in building andconstruction engineering. The study on cracking pattern of masonry structure is significant to engineering design. Many previous investigations on the failure process of masonry structure are usually based on the homogenization technique by selecting a typical unit of masonry to serve as a representative volume. This kind of numerical analysis neglects the mesoscopic heterogeneous structure, which cannot capture the full cracking process of masonry structures. The cracking process of masonry structure is dominantly affected by its heterogeneous internal structures. In this paper, a mesoscopic mechanical model of masonry material is developed to simulate the behavior of masonry structure. Considering the heterogeneity of masonry material, based on the damage mechanics and elastic-brittle theory, the new developed Material Failure Process Analysis (MFPA2D) system was put forward to simulate the cracking process of masonry structure, which was considered as a two-phase composite of block and mortar phases. The crack propagation processes simulated with this model shows good agreement with those of experimental observations. The numerical results show that numerical analysis clearly reflect the modification, transference and their interaction of the stress field and damage evolution process which are difficult to achieve by physical experiments. It provides a new method to research the forecast theory of failure and seismicity of masonry. It has been found that the fracture of masonry observed at the macroscopic level is predominantly caused by tensile damage at the mesoscopic level

    Notes: A numerical code RFPA3D (Realistic Failure Process Analysis) is used to simulate the crackinitiation and propagation in FRP-strengthened concrete beam under external loading. In our model,the FRP-strengthened concrete is assumed to be a three-phase composite composed of concrete, FRP,and interface between them. The displacement-controlled loading scheme is used to simulate thecomplete failure process of FRP-strengthened concrete the numerical simulation of failure process ofthe specimens. It is found that the main failure mode is the interfacial debonding and the interfacialdebonding may propagate either within the adhesive layer or through concrete layer in the vicinity ofbond interface. The simulation results agree well with the experiment observations. The width of theFRP sheet is considered an important factor not only to significantly influence the debondingpropagation type and crack distribution but also to control the ultimate load-capacity and ultimatestrain. This study is focused on the failure process of the FRP-strengthened concrete beam and theeffects of the width of FRP sheet on the failure mode and on the structural load-carrying capacity ofconcrete structures

    Notes: Using newly developed 3 dimensional Rock Failure Process Analysis code RFPA3D,numerical simulations on samples of rock-like material containing pre-existing surface closed flawsunder uniaxial compressive loading are conducted to investigate the failure mechanism and crackcoalescence modes. Friction in closed flaws is modeled by inserting ideal elasto-plastic materials intothe flaws. The simulations replicate most of the phenomena observed in actual experiments, such asinitiation and growth of wing and secondary cracks, crack coalescence, and the macro-failure of thesample. For the samples containing three pre-existing surface closed flaws, four different patterns ofcrack coalescence are obtained in our simulations. The four different patterns of coalescence are thecombination of T mode, S mode, TS mode and C mode, i.e. type [removed info](C+S mode), [removed info](T+S mode), [removed info] (Smode) and [removed info](C+S mode). A total of four types of samples containing three surface parallel inclinedfrictional flaws are numerically simulated

    Notes: A Monte Carlo Potts model has been used to investigate cube-texture strengthening during grain growth in rolled high-purity Ni-tapes. The initial conditions for the simulations have been taken from electron back-scatter pattern (EBSP) orientation maps of already fully recrystallized samples. Experimentally, grain growth leads to an increase in the cube volume fraction to 〉95% , accompanied by an approximately ten-fold increase in the grain size. High cube volume fractions can be predicted under a number of conditions, though a small surface energy advantage of just 2% for cube-oriented grains is required to match the texture strengthening to the grain size change. An additional issue of interest is the influence on the grain growth of the large area-fraction of twin boundaries in the fully recrystallized condition. The presence of boundaries with low energy has a strong influence on thesimulated microstructural evolution

    Notes: This paper introduces a newly developed three-dimensional Material Failure ProcessAnalysis code, MFPA3D to model the failure processes of brittle materials, such as concrete, ceramics, fibrous materials, and rocks. This numerical code, based on a stress analysis method (finite element method) and a material failure constitutive law, can be taken as a tool in numerical modeling analysis to enhance our understanding of the failure mechanisms of brittle materials. Properties of material heterogeneity are taken into account. The material is discretized into numerous small elements with fixed size. Fracture behavior can be modeled by reducing the material stiffness and strength after the peak strength of the material has been reached. The evolution of the cracking process down to full fracture implies strain softening, which describes the post-peak gradual decline of stress at increasing strain. In the present study, a Mohr-Coulomb criterion envelop with a tension cut-off is used so that the element may fail either in shear or in tension. Simulated fracture or crack patterns of two examples are found quite realistic, and the results strongly depend on the heterogeneity level

    Notes: Equally spaced opening-mode fractures always evolve in top layer attached to underlying layer. With a newly developed Material Failure Process Analysis code (MFPA2D), we have firstly investigated the stress distribution between two adjacent fractures as a function of the fracture-spacing-to-layer-thickness ratio using a two-layer model with a fractured top layer. The numerical results indicate the horizontal stress perpendicular to the fractures near the top surface changes from tensile to compressive when the fracture-spacing-to-layer-thickness ratio changes from greater than to less than a critical value. Then, the process from fracture initiation to fracture saturation is numerically modeled. The modeling of fracture process shows that the fractures initiate at the top surface and propagate to the interface between the two layers in the first stage. In the following stage, new fractures can infill between the earlier formed fractures and they always initiateat the interface and propagate to the top surface. Numerical simulation clearly demonstrates that the stress state transition precludes further infilling of fractures and the fracture spacing reaches a constant state, i.e. the so-called fracture saturation

    Notes: A newly developed numerical code MFPA3D is applied to simulate the progressivedamage and failure process of laminated cylindrical composite shell. Heterogeneities in meso-scale are taken into account by randomly distributing the material properties throughout the model by following a Weibull statistical distribution. The cylindrical composite shell is discretized into 3-D block elements with the fixed size and is subjected to a lateral compressive loading, applied with a constant displacement control manner. The numerical simulation results show that not only the process of crack initiation, propagation and coalescence but also the failure process can be numerically obtained in three dimensional. The MFPA3D modeling demonstrates that the code can simulate non-linear behavior of brittle materials with a simple mesoscopic constitutive law with a strength and elastic modulus reduction of the weaken elements

    Notes: Fracture formation on surfaces of bi-layered materials is studied numerically. A simplifiedtwo-layered materials model like growing tree trunk is present. This work is focused on patterns offractures and fracture saturation. We consider the formation of crack pattern in bark as an example ofpattern formation due to expansion of one material layer with respect to another. As a result of thisexpansion, the bark stretches until it reaches its limit of deformation and cracks. A novel numericalcode, 3D Realistic Failure Process Analysis code (abbreviated as RFPA3D) is used to obtainnumerical solutions. In this numerical code, the heterogeneity of materials is taken into account byassigning different properties to the individual elements according to statistical distribution function.Elastic-brittle constitutive relation with residual strength for elements and a Mohr-Coulomb criterionwith a tensile cut-off are adopted so that the elements may fail either in shear or in tension. Thediscontinuity feature of the initiated crack is automatically induced by using degraded stiffnessapproach when the tensile strain of the failed elements reaching a certain value. The different patternsare obtained by varying simulation parameters, the thickness of the material layer. Numericalsimulation clearly demonstrates that the stress state transition precludes further infilling of fracturesand the fracture spacing reaches constant state,i.e. the socalled fracture saturation. It also indicatesthat RFPA code is a viable tool for modeling fracture formation and studying fracture patterns
