On the lumped damage mechanics for nonlinear structural analyses: new developments and applications

The accurate description of the nonlinear structural behaviour is an important issue in engineering science. Usually, classic nonlinear theories, such as fracture and damage mechanics, applied to finite element programmes are used to fulfil that purpose. Classic fracture mechanics describes the stru...
