Damage simulation
Damage simulation
(OP)
Dear Engs,
I have come across different techniques to mimic the damage condition in bridge structures. I list down what I do often and others can keep the list continuing! This could be civil infrastructures. machinery and you name it!
For bridge condition assessment, either a hair-size crack or major spalling, I'd following:

For bridge condition assessment, either a hair-size crack or major spalling, I'd following:
- reduction in cross section depending on severity of damage scenario
- reduction in stiffness (E); it could also be simultaneous reduction in (EI) based on severity of damage
- entirely removing a particular section for onerous damage
Shoot for the Moon, even if U miss, U still land among Stars!
