## **Tour 1**: Introduction
### 1.1 A roadmap through the BMCS landscape
### 1.2 Introduction to Jupyter Web Apps and notebooks
Not only static slides and videos but also the possibility to interactively put your fingers on the theory in terms of prepared interactive applications is used throughout the course.
<!-- Basic information how to
use the `jupyter` notebooks are summarized here:</br>
[**Web Apps:** first steps](link)
-->
### 1.3 Interactive computational environment
To demonstrate the theory on examples that can be interactively modified, let us consider an elementary case of mixture rule to determine the effective stiffness of an elastic composite </br>

## **Tour 2:** Constant bond - pull-out, crack bridge, fragmentation
%% Cell type:markdown id: tags:
### 2.1 - Pull-out from rigid matrix - test setup and theory
Using the analytical solution of the pullout problem assuming constant bond-slip law, elastic fiber and rigid matrix, we first explore the fundamental relations between the measured pull-out curve of a steel-rebar from the concrete matrix:</br>
### 2.2 - Classification of pullout configurations with constant bond stress
Include further configurations of a pull-out to show the differences in their behavior, learning the correspondence between the shape of the pull-out curve and the distribution of slip, shear, fiber and matrix strain and stresses depending on a particular configuration, i.e. elastic matrix, short fiber, short matrix and clamped fiber:</br>

### 2.3 - Multiple cracking - fragmentation
The crack-bridging action of a fiber within a composite loaded in tension is a key to understanding the behavior of brittle-matrix composites. By putting crack bridges in a series, we can directly simulate a tensile test and predict the test response in terms of the stress-strain and crack spacing curves. This helps us to study and understand the relation between reinforcement ratio, bond strength, matrix strenth and the tensile response of the composite:

## **Tour 3:** Non-linear bond-slip law
### 3.1 - Pull-out with softening and hardening bond behavior
The shape of the bond-slip law is distinguished into hardening and softening leading to a completely different pull-out behavior. A numerical model of the pull-out test is used to monitor and explain the debonding process in two studies for steel and CFRP bond to concrete showing a qualitatively different behavior.</br>
[**Pull-out**: with softening and hardening](tour3_nonlinear_bond/3_1_nonlinear_bond.ipynb#top)
### 3.2 - Effect of bond length: anchorage versus pull-out failure
With the developed understanding, we address questions related to design rules: What is the necessary bond length to avoid or to deliberately induce a fiber pull-out or fiber rupture. At which distance from the loaded end can we expect a matrix crack to appear?</br>
The numerical vehicles used in the above two trips are provided here in a more detail as a bonus material.</br>

## **Tour 4:** Irreversibility due to yielding
### 4.1 - Unloading and reloading
Non-linear behavior can be described by nonlinear functions as we did so far. However,
this description cannot capture the irreversible changes within the material structure.
To demonstrate this, let us revisit the pull-out tests and consider a loading scenario with unloading and reloading.</br>
[Unloading with multi-linear bond-slip law](tour4_plastic_bond/4_1_PO_multilinear_unloading.ipynb#top)
### 4.2 - The basic concept of plasticity
The first option in describing irreversible changes in a material point is the
plasticity. The stick-slip interface represents the simplest possible
type of plastic behavior that can be conveniently used to explain the key concept
behind all material models introducing plastic behavior.</br>

### 4.3 - Cyclic pullout test and plastic material behavior
With the knowledge of the plasticity at a material point level, let us study the effect of unloading and reloading at the level of a structure. In particular, we learn to interpret the meaning of the unloading stiffness at the level of a structure.</br>
