Three-dimensional stress state during dynamic shear rupture propagation along frictional interfaces in elastic plates

Jean-François Molinari, Roozbeh Rezakhani

The state of stress in plates, where one geometric dimensions is much smaller than the others, is often assumed to be of plane stress. This assumption is justified by the fact that the out-of-plane stress components are zero on the free-surfaces of a plate ...

Meso-scale finite element modeling of Alkali-Silica-Reaction

Jean-François Molinari, Roozbeh Rezakhani, Emil Gallyamov

The Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR) in concrete is a chemical reaction, which produces an expansive product, generally called “ASR gel”, and causes cracking and damage in concrete over time. Affecting numerous infrastructures all around the world, ASR has bee ...

Multi-scale modelling of concrete structures affected by alkali-silica reaction: Coupling the mesoscopic damage evolution and the macroscopic concrete deterioration

Jean-François Molinari, Aurelia Isabel Cuba Ramos, Mauro Corrado, Roozbeh Rezakhani, Emil Gallyamov

A finite-element approach based on the first-order FE2 homogenisation technique is formulated to analyse the alkali-silica reaction-induced damage in concrete structures, by linking the concrete degradation at the macro-scale to the reaction extent at the ...

Finite element modeling of dynamic frictional rupture with rate and state friction

Jean-François Molinari, Fabian Barras, Roozbeh Rezakhani, Michael Ludovic Brun

Numerous laboratory experiments have demonstrated the dependence of the friction coefficient on the interfacial slip rate and the contact history, a behavior generically called rate and state friction. Although numerical models have been widely used for an ...

Meso-scale modelling of ASR in concrete: effect of viscoelasticity

Jean-François Molinari, Mauro Corrado, Roozbeh Rezakhani, Emil Gallyamov

A meso-scale numerical model for simulating damage in concrete due to ASR is presented. It accounts for the internal structure of concrete including aggregates and mortar. ASR sites are explicitly represented. This model is extended to account for viscoela ...

Explicit dynamic approach for unbounded domains in frictional contact with Rate and State laws

Jean-François Molinari, Roozbeh Rezakhani

The paper explores the ability of an explicit time integration procedure to simulate the dynamics of shear rupture between unbounded elastic blocks on frictional interface, modeled with the finite element method. The behaviour of the interface is governed ...
