Abstract
The serviceability of wooden structures involves multiphysical phenomena, notably the interactions among creep, plasticity, and damage. The influence of creep on the initialization of the damage and on its growth and spread can be adjusted by an additional alpha parameter in order to take into account the coupled effect between creep and damage more properly. We integrate an orthotropic viscoelastic model, based on the generalized Kelvin chain, with an orthotropic damage model, capturing both the immediate nonlinear elastic-plastic-damage response and the time-dependent viscous response of timber. The combination of these material models is important to obtain a realistic description of wood behavior, because the timber shows an immediate nonlinear elastic-plastic-damage response, but also the time-dependent viscous response. In this paper, we algorithmize, implement, and validate the concept of 'creep damage', a phenomenon observed in wooden structures. Benchmark tests reveal two distinct patterns of damage in beech wood, immediate postload damage that evolves over time and damage that occurs and spreads during the loading period.
