George Z. Voyiadjis, Bilal Ahmed, Taehyo Park
Abstract
In this part II, companion article, we present the numerical review of continuum damage mechanics and plasticity in the context of finite element. The numerical advancements in local, nonlocal, and rate-dependent models are presented. The numerical algorithms, type of elements utilized in numerical analysis, the commercial software’s or in-house codes used for the analysis, iterative schemes, explicit or implicit approaches to solving finite element equations, and degree of continuity of element are discussed in this part. Lastly, some open issues in concrete damage modeling and future research needed are also discussed.
