Modelling of damage in orthotropic materials : including strain-softening effects in dynamic problems

Damage models are developed within the continuum damage mechanics framework which allows the description of material degeneration with general constitutive equations. The difficulty in the description of damage behaviour increases with increasing complexity of the material behaviour. This is especia...
