Fundamental Aspects of Brittle Cooperative Phenomena - Local Load Sharing Models

Abstract

The present paper considers the effect of stress concentrations on the damage evolution in brittle solids with disordered microstructure. This problem is herein approached studying discrete models provided with a local load sharing rule. Two of these models: tight bundle parallel bar model and lattices, are employed to establish universal trends in brittle cooperative deformation processes. Damage mechanics, Rupture, Stress concentrations.
