Definitions and Literature Survey

The phenomenon of the unilateral damage, also called the damage deactivation or the crack closure/opening effect, is typical for materials subjected to reverse tension-compression cycles. In the simplest one-dimensional case, if the loading is reversed from tension to compression, the cracks will completely close such that the material behaves as uncracked or, in other words, its initial stiffness is recovered. The mathematical description of unilateral damage is based on the decomposition of the stress or strain into the positive and negative projections; see Ladeveze and Lemaitre (1992), Litewka (1991), Mazars (1986), Krajcinovic (1996), Saanouni et al. (1994), and Saanouni and Abdul-Latif (1996). In the simplest case, the damage modified stress or strain is used, based on the concept of the Heaviside function, where the negative principal components are ruled out. This means that the negative principal...
