A data-driven strategy to model the behavior of history-dependent materials in computational mechanics

Data-driven structural computation methods are gaining traction in solid mechanics, offering new ways to model material behavior beyond traditional constitutive laws. Early developments often minimized the role of Materials Science, but recent…

Effect of the mechanical stress on the training of Nb₃Sn superconducting magnets

High field Nb₃Sn superconducting magnets are promising for use in future high-energy particle colliders. To date, many superconducting magnets impregnated in epoxy have been tested. Extreme conditions in terms of current, magnetic field, and Lorentz…

Variational formulation of loading-induced damage anisotropy: Theoretical framework for second-order anisotropic damage and Lip-field regularization

Variational approaches for damage and fracture are now well established. Most of them are restricted to isotropic (scalar) damage, but tensorial internal variables are needed to properly account for loading-induced damage anisotropy. The objective…

Helical buckling in textile cord-elastomer composites under compressive loadings: Experiments and simulations

In this paper, the study of helical buckling is extended, for the first time, to slender structures with a complex architecture: textile cords. This phenomenon is investigated experimentally through in-situ X-ray tomography compression tests and…

Effect of Chitosan on Soil Stabilization

Soil stabilization using biopolymers has emerged as an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional binders like cement and lime. In this study, Chitosan, a biopolymer derived from waste crustacean shells, was used to treat coarse and fine…

A surrogate-based approach to accelerate the design and build phases of reinforced concrete bridges

Integrating uncertainties in the design process of reinforced concrete rail bridges, in a fully probabilistic framework, makes their design more complex and challenging. To propagate these uncertainties and convey their influence on the performance…
