Masonry constructions: Mechanical models and numerical applications. The constitutive equations of masonry-like materials (Chap. 2)
The purpose of this chapter is to characterize the mechanical behavior of so-called masonry-like or no-tension materials. In particular, the authors deal with a class of nonlinear elastic materials that are incapable of withstanding tensile stresses and behave like a linear elastic material when subjected to compressive stresses: a) masonry-like materials with zero tensile strength and Infinite compressive strength, b) masonry-like materials with small tensile strength and bounded compressive strength, c) masonry-like materials under non-isothermal conditions. Basic results on the gradient and divergence of vector and tensor fields, as well as some less standard questions such as differentiation of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a symmetric tensor with respect to the tensor itself are given.
