| Summary: | It is now widely believed and accepted that realistic description of crack formation and propagation in composite materials such as concrete or fiber reinforced concrete requires the use of nonlinear fracture models. Advances in fracture mechanics and numerical analysis techniques, moreover, provide tools and motivation needed to develop more comprehensive and realistic models. These models then serve to evaluate fracture parameters and optimize the performance of material design. Therefore, it is very important that the development of these models is backed by reliable experimental methods to check the validity of the model on real materials/structures. |
