Development and numerical implementation of an anisotropic continuum damage model for concrete

    Abstract

    In this paper, a thermodynamic formulation for modelling anisotropic damage of elasticbrittle materials based on Ottosen's 4-parameter failure surface is proposed. The model is developed by using proper expressions for Gibb's free energy and the complementary form of the dissipation potential. The formulation predicts the basic characteristic behaviour of concrete well and results in a realistic shape for the damage surface.
