Anisotropic damage modelling of biaxial behaviour and rupture of concrete structures
F. Ragueneau, R. Desmorat and F. Gatuingt

 
Abstract
    This paper deals with damage induced anisotropy modeling for concrete-like materials. A thermodynamics based constitutive relationship is presented coupling anisotropic damage and elasticity, the main idea of the model being that damage anisotropy is responsible for the dissymmetry tension/compression. A strain written damage criterion is considered (Mazars criterion extended to anisotropy in the initial model). The biaxial behavior of a family of anisotropic damage model is analyzed through the effects of yield surface modifications by the introduction of new equivalent strains.
 
Key Words
    constitutive relations; anisotropic damage; yield function; multiaxial behaviour.
