The constitutive equations of rate type for a class of thermo-hypo-elastic materials are derived within the framework of the extended irreversible thermodynamics.

Fracture mechanics as applied to plain and reinforced concrete with particular reference to scaling of experimental data

Crescentino Bosco, Alberto Carpinteri (1990)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

Similarity:

Whereas in elasticity and plasticity geometrically similar structures behave in the same way, when strain-softening and strain-localization are taken into account the structural behaviour ranges from ductile to brittle merely by increasing size and keeping material properties and geometrical shape unchanged. The size-scale of plain and reinforced concrete elements has often revealed a fundamental influence on the global structural behaviour. This has been theoretically predicted and...
