In this paper, an attempt is made to describe the structural-statistical aspects of the
damage accumulation and fracture of structural steel by means of experimental and numerical
micromacromodeling. The new approach of multiscale modeling of structure element fracture based
on evolution of microstructure levels is proposed. The lifetime is considered as an ultimate state in a
local volume of material, or a critical value of the local damage approaching.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
