Abstract:

Based on the continuum tangent stiffness tensors derived in part one for steel and concrete, bifurcation analyses of rate-dependent elasto-plasticity and elastodamage are performed in (-( and (-( spaces of Mohr, respectively. Localization ellipse osculating Mohr's circle enables us to determine the critical state and failure angle. It is shown that strain rate has no effect on the failure angle, and that the parameters in rate-dependent damage model are restricted by the results of bifurcation analysis.
