Lifetime-Oriented Structural Design Concepts- P15: At the beginning of 1996, the Cooperative Research Center SFB 398 financially supported by the German Science Foundation (DFG) was started at Ruhr-University Bochum (RUB). A scientists group representing the fields of structural engineering, structural mechanics, soil mechanics, material science, and numerical mathematics introduced a research program on “lifetimeoriented design concepts on the basis of damage and deterioration aspects”. | 378 4 Methodological Implementation represents all state variables u p u p and spatial gradients VuNP . On the basis of equation the weak form of the coupled multiphysics system 8W is generated in equation by the weighted summation of the individual weak forms 5Wf whereby Af is introduced to adapt physical units and dimensions of coupled fields. W Af W 0 f 1 Linearized Weak Form of Coupled Balance Equations In order to prepare the weak form for the numerical solution with the Newton-Raphson scheme the weak form is expanded in a Taylor series about the trial solution of all state variables 5W k 1 5W k A8W k 0 and spatial gradients characterized by k.
