A Discrete Element Model for Damage and Fatigue Crack Growth of Quasi-Brittle Materials
The repeatedly applied low-intensity loads would lead to the damage and fatigue crack growth of mechanical structures made of quasi-brittle materials. In numerical modelling, these two mechanisms are normally treated differently and separately; the damage is usually associated with nonlocal approach...
