Non-thermal quenched damage phenomena: The application of the mean-field approach for the three-dimensional case

In this study, we apply the mean-field approach to the three-dimensional damage phenomena. The model approximates a solid as a polycrystalline material where grains are assumed isotropic. While the stiffness properties are considered homogeneous, the heterogeneous distribution of grains’ strengths p...
