Two-Dimensional Mesoscale Finite Element Modeling of Concrete Damage and Failure

Methodologies are developed for analyzing failure initiation and crack propagation in highly heterogeneous concrete mesostructures. Efficient algorithms are proposed in Python to generate and pack geometric features into a continuous phase. The continuous phase represents the mortar matrix, while th...
