Abstract
Different gradient-enhanced damage formulations are derived
and compared. Also the underlying nonlocal damage model
is taken into consideration. For the analytical comparisons an
analysis of dispersive waves is performed. The Element-Free
Galerkin (EFG) method is used for a numerical comparison of
the various models. EFG shape functions are easily formulated
with an infinite order of continuity, so that different gradient-enhanced
models can be compared in a straightforward manner.
The discretisation aspects and the consistent linearisation
are discussed. Two benchmark tests are considered. It is found
that the so-called second-order implicit model is the preferred
option from a physical, numerical and implementational point
of view.
