However, a variety of non-metallic materials (e.g., concrete and cementitious composites, rocks, glass, ceramics, bituminous mixtures, composites, polymers, rubber and soft matter, bones and biological materials, and advanced and multifunctional materials) have received relatively less attention, despite their attractiveness for a large spectrum of applications related to the components and structures of diverse engineering branches, applied sciences and architecture, and to the load-carrying systems of biological organisms. This book covers the broad topic of structural integrity of non-metallic materials, considering the modelling, assessment, and reliability of structural elements of any scale. Original contributions from engineers, mechanical materials scientists, computer scientists, physicists, chemists, and mathematicians are presented, applying both experimental and theoretical approaches.History of engineering and technologybicsscABAQUS FEAAdvanced materials.aeroelastic simulationassessmentblast furnace slagblow-off impulseboundary effectbridge decksbridge evaluationcarbon fiber-reinforced polymers-CFRPcarbon-containing refractoriesCeramicsCFRPchemical groutingcivil engineeringcohesive zone modelCohesive Zone Model (CZM)composite reinforced panelCompositescompressive membrane actioncompressive modulus of elasticitycompressive strengthcompressive stressconcreteConcreteconcrete bridgesconcrete crackingcrack patternscrack propagationcritical stress intensity factordamage modeldata assimilationdefect tolerancedeformationdelaminationdiamond compositedigital image correlationdiscrete elementdiscrete element methoddistribution of strain energyelastic interfaceelectric-thermal couplingembedmentenergy evolutionenergy release rateenhanced PG-NEMEthylene-propylene diene monomer rubber EPDMfailure probabilityfatigueFatiguefatigue assessmentfatigue lifefatigue loadfatigue loadingfiber-reinforced composite laminatefibre-reinforced high performance concretefinenessfinite element analysisFinite Element Analysis (FEA)flexural testflowing waterfly ashfour-point bending beam fatigue testfracturefracture energyFracture mechanicsfracture mechanismfracture parametersfracture toughnessfracture widthfracturesfunctionally graded material (FGM)goaf consolidationgrommethigh performance concretehigh-temperature wedge splitting testimpact and quasi-static loadingindicesinter-laminar damageintra-laminar damagejoint roughness coefficientjointed rocklightning strikelive loadsLow Velocity Impactsmaterial failure characteristicsmaximum compressive strainmechanical propertiesmesostructuremetallic glassesmineral grain shapeminingmixed-mode fracturemode-II microcracksmodified asphalt mixturemodified interaction integralmulti-directional laminatemulti-scale simulationn/aneutral axisnondestructive testingnotch bluntingnumerical analysisnumerical simulationoptimization of shape designoverlay testerparticle flow codeparticle sizephysical modelling testphysical propertiespitch regulationpolymersPolymerspressure-tension apparatusprestressed concreteproppant packpseudo-cracking methodpunching shearRC beamsRC strengthening (in bending and shear)red sandstonereducing conditionreinforced concrete beamreliabilityreliability of rocksretrofittingroad bridge decksRockrock cutting picksrock fracturerock mechanical propertyrock mechanicsrock structurerock-like materialsandstonescale modelself-healingshale rockshear bandssize effectsmall wind turbinesoft materialsSoft matterstagnant waterstall regulationstrain energystrain ratestrain rate tensorstrain-softeningstrata structural behaviorstress concentratorsstress intensity factor (SIF)Structural integritysuccessive strain gaugetensile strengthtensiontension weakeningthermodynamicstriaxial compression testtwo-point trapezoidal beam fatigue testultrasonic pulse velocityuniaxial compression simulationuniaxial tension loadingvelocity fieldVUMATwater plugging rateHistory of engineering and technologySpagnoli Andreaedt1324201Spagnoli AndreaothBOOK9910557474603321Fatigue and Fracture of Non-metallic Materials and Structures3036033UNINA
