We proposed a bond-based peridynamic lattice model for simulating dynamic brittle fracture of 2D composite lamina. Material orthogonal anisotropy was represented by rotating topological lattice structure instead of fiber directions. Analytical derivation and numerical implementation of the proposed model were given based on energy equivalence. Benchmark composite lamina tests are used to validate the capability of modeling dynamic fracture of the method. The peridynamic lattice model is found to be robust and successful in modeling dynamic brittle fracture of 2D composite lamina and can be extended to composite laminates by applying 3D lattice structure.

This work deals with an improvement of an anisotropic damage model in order to analyze reinforced concrete structures submitted to reversal loading. The original constitutive model is based on the fundamental hypothesis of energy equivalence between real and continuous media following the concepts of the Continuum Damage Mechanics. The concrete is assumed as an initial elastic isotropic medium presenting anisotropy, permanent strains and bimodularity induced by damage evolution. In order to take into account the bimodularity, two damage tensors governing the rigidity in tension or compression regimes are introduced. However, the original model is not capable to simulate the influence of the previous damage processes in compression regimes. In order to avoid this problem, some conditions are introduced to simulate the damage unilateral effect. It has noted that the damage model is agreement with to micromechanical theory conditions when dealing to unilateral effect in concrete material. Finally, the proposed model is applied in the analyses of reinforced concrete framed structures submitted to reversal loading. These numerical applications show the good performance of the model and its potentialities to simulate practical problems in structural engineering.

This study aims to conduct a fatigue simulation for predicting the stiffness degradation of thin-ply composite laminates with several ply thicknesses. For the simulation, a fatigue evolution model of intra-laminar damage in thin-ply composite laminates considering the effect of ply thickness was proposed. The intra-laminar damage evolution was modeled using the continuum damage mechanics model and the static and fatigue evolution law were formulated by relating the transverse crack density to the damage variable. The finite element simulation using the proposed model was conducted to predict the stiffness degradation of the laminates as a function of the number of loading cycles. The simulation results show that the experimental data can be reproduced by using the proposed fatigue model.

Suppose X is a topological ring. It is known that there are three classes of bounded group homomorphisms on X whose topological structures make them again topological rings. First, we show that if X is a Hausdorff topological ring, then so are these classes of bounded group homomorphisms on X. Now, assume that X is a locally solid lattice ring. In this paper, our aim is to consider lattice structure on these classes of bounded group homomorphisms more precisely, we show that, under some mild assumptions, they are locally solid lattice rings. In fact, we consider bounded order bounded homomorphisms on X. Then we show that under the assumed topology, they form locally solid lattice rings. For this reason, we need a version of the remarkable RieszKantorovich formulae for order bounded operators in Riesz spaces in terms of order bounded homomorphisms on topological lattice groups.
