This study presents a new 3D coupled damage-plasticity model with energy-based regularisation in Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) for modelling fractured quasi-brittle rocks. The model accounts for energy dissipation in both the tensile and compressive regimes by distinctly separating damage evolution in tension and compression. A semi-analytical solution is introduced to derive damage evolution parameters linked to energ...

Brassicaceous plants are attacked by a wealth of specialist herbivores that include the Diamondback moth (DBM) Plutella xylostella L. (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), control of which requires novel biocontrol strategies. DBM is a cosmopolitan pest causing damage that varies yearly in Finland depending on the timing and extent of their migration. Intercropping with companion plants can hamper host location by herbivores or attract...
