Coupled plastic damage model for low and ultra-low cycle seismic fatigue

This paper presents the theoretical framework for a coupled plastic damage constitutive model valid for materials subjected to cyclic loads that lead to low and ultra-low cycle fatigue. Two numerical examples were presented in order to illustrate the behaviour of the model and its capabilities.
