Crack propagation model with dynamic eigenerosion

Modeling of dynamic loading for concrete structures by microplane model and an eigenerosion approach

Research topics

• Investigation of the eigenerosion approach for the quasi-static case
• Development and implementation of earthquake loading for large structures (concrete dam case) within a nonlocal microplane model
• Development and implementation of dynamic eigenerosion for reinforced concrete
• In collaboration with University of Cagliari – Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Architecture, also University of Sassari, Italy: development and simulation of the quasi-static eigenerosion for L-shaped, four-point-bending specimens and the dynamic case for reinforced concrete

In collaboration with

• University of Cagliari – Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Architecture, Italy
• University of Sassari, Italy
