Simulating the self-healing processes of an autonomic cementitious material system - data

The behaviour of autonomic self-healing cementitious materials (SHCM) depends on a set of interacting mechanical, chemical and transport processes. This dataset contains data corresponding to a new numerical model, applicable to autonomic self-healing systems in which embedded channels or vascular networks are employed to supply the healing agent. The model simulates each of the physical processes in turn using a set of component models, including a damage-healing model that allows for simultaneous cracking and healing, as well as re-cracking and re-healing. In addition to a number of Excel files that contain the results produced by the model for a number of example problems, this dataset also contains Mathcad sheets, in which the damage-healing model is implemented, and FORTRAN source code, in which the full model is implemented. Finally, a set of data files are also provided that correspond to example problems concerning a SHCM with embedded channels in i) three-point bending test with both paused and continuous loading during the healing period and ii) Nooru-Mohamed test reimagined as a healing test.
