Deep Learning algorithm for the assessment of the first damage initiation monitoring the energy release of materials

Dario Milone, Dario Santonocito

Monitoring the energy release during fatigue tests of common engineering materials has been shown to give relevant information on fatigue properties, reducing the testing time and material consumption. During a static tensile test, it is…

Novel 2D strain-rate-dependent lamina-based and RVE/phase-based progressive fatigue damage criteria for randomly loaded multi-layer fiber-reinforced composites

M. Shariyat

Two implicit progressive fatigue damage models that rely on new equivalent-damage and equivalent-stress criteria are presented for the prediction of various failure modes of the composites. The criteria are coupled with lamina-based and…
