Localization analysis for a dynamic two-scale damage model
In the present contribution a localization analysis is performed for a two-scale damage model in dynamics. The evolution laws for damage are motivated by results of asymptotic homogenization [1-3] and involve a characteristic length of the microstructure.For the one dimensional dynamic system, we study the localization of damage by using analytical and numerical methods. An instability analysis based on harmonic perturbations of a homogeneous state for the linearized equations reveals wave dispersion properties and an intrinsic length of the model depending on the micro-structural length and the damage level.
Finite elements simulations in two and three spatial dimensions show the localization of damage and the specific influence of the size of the microstructure.
