The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.4 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.3 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 2.2 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00034 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.46 SJR: 0.333 SNIP: 0.606 CiteScore™:: 3.1 H-Index: 31

ABSTRACT

This article introduces an enriched finite element representation of crack bridges suitable for simulating the complex damage processes in textile-reinforced concrete. The heterogeneity of both the matrix and the reinforcement occurs at similar length scales of the material structure. Consequently, an improved accuracy of approximation at the hot spots of damage is required to capture the relevant damage mechanisms. This is done by combining the extended finite element method with the variational multiscale approach. While the former is used to define the crack in the matrix, the latter serves for local resolution of the displacement fields in the vicinity of the crack. The approach is exemplified on a 1D example of a tension bar with interacting cracks and on the detailed analysis of debonding in a shear zone of a bending specimen
