Abstract

Continuum damage mechanics offers a method of incorporating both creep and fatigue effects in a model of material failure. The complete modelling of deformation and failure for multi-axial behaviour presents many problems. The authors propose here some approaches to these problems. A non-linear kinematic hardening model and a multi-axial damage evolution law is used to model two simple bi-axial strain paths. Problems arising from these simulations are discussed and possible solutions proposed.
