1. On the Modeling of Porous Media with Emphasis on Localization
Abstract : The mechanics of porous media is nowadays relevant in a broad spectrum of engineering applications. In the case of geomaterials, the description of the mechanical behavior is complicated by the fact that the deformation characteristics involve (strain) localization, which is indeed the main topic of this thesis.

3. Plasticity and Damage Mechanics for Modeling Concrete Failure
Abstract : Concrete structures exhibit strongly non-linear and complex mechanical behavior. Hence, they are nowadays often analyzed by means of the finite element method, whereby a realistic description of the material behavior is decisive for the validity of the results. READ MORE

4. Mechanics of Cross-Laminated Timber
Abstract : Increasing awareness of sustainable building materials has led to interest in enhancing the structural performance of engineered wood products. Wood is a sustainable, renewable material, and the increasing use of wood in construction contributes to its sustainability. READ MORE

5. Fracture mechanics studies of non-yielding materials like concrete : modelling of tensile fracture and applied strength analyses
Abstract : Fracture mechanics studies of non-yielding materials are presented. The studies are based on theoretical models for the macroscopical mechanical behaviour of materials during tensile stress induced fracture. A number of applied numercal analysis are indicated. READ MORE
