This paper extends the results of discontinuous bifurcation analysis of elastoplastic solids to materials which exhibit elastic degradation. As a starting point, the concepts of elastic degradation are formulated in terms of a secant relationship, a threshold function, and an elastic stiffness degradation rule. Differentiation of the secant law renders the governing tangent operator for both stress or strain-based formulations of elastic degradation. Scalar and tenser-valued proposals in Continuum Damage Mechanics are particular cases of the unified formulation of elastic degradation, when a reduced set of damage variables is introduced. The traditional (1-D) approach of scalar damage describes the stiffness degradation by a single variable, whereby all components of the secant stiffness are affected in a self-similar manner. The paper presents general analytic results for distributed and localized failure of elastic-degrading materials, further specialized for the traditional (1-D) scalar damage model, when it is subjected to specific loading scenarios. For illustration, a geometric localization criterion is introduced to highlight the features of localized failure in the Mohr coordinates.

Abstract
This paper extends the results of discontinuous bifurcation analysis of elastoplastic solids to materials which exhibit elastic degradation. As a starting point, the concepts of elastic degradation are formulated in terms of a secant relationship, a threshold function, and an elastic stiffness degradation rule. Differentiation of the secant law renders the governing tangent operator for both stress or strain-based formulations of elastic degradation. Scalar and tenser-valued proposals in Continuum Damage Mechanics are particular cases of the unified formulation of elastic degradation, when a reduced set of damage variables is introduced. The traditional (1-D) approach of scalar damage describes the stiffness degradation by a single variable, whereby all components of the secant stiffness are affected in a self-similar manner. The paper presents general analytic results for distributed and localized failure of elastic-degrading materials, further specialized for the traditional (1-D) scalar damage model, when it is subjected to specific loading scenarios. For illustration, a geometric localization criterion is introduced to highlight the features of localized failure in the Mohr coordinates.File | Dimensione del file | Formato | |
