Deterioration analysis of materials and finite elements
Abstract
In this study we examine the spectral properties of stiffness degradation at the constitutive level and at the levels of finite elements and their assemblies. The principal objective is to assess the effects of defects on the elastic stiffness properties at different levels of observation. In particular, we are interested in quantitative damage measures, which characterize the fundamental mode of degradation in the form of elastic damage at the level of constitutive relations and at the level of finite elements and structures.
