Backlink Insertion Plan

Purpose: make Atlas nodes navigable in Obsidian/Markdown by adding explicit related-node backlinks.

Rule

Each node should include a ## Linked nodes section with 4–8 links. Links should connect across categories:

• theory → experiment
• theory → material/application
• material/application → performance domain
• performance domain → evidence/source
• paper card → concept nodes

Priority 1: Core theory backlinks

02_concepts/micromechanics_based_design.md

Add/verify links:

• [[strain_hardening_criteria]]
• [[fiber_bridging_law]]
• [[flaw_design]]
• [[processing_rheology]]
• [[direct_tensile_test]]
• [[constitutive_modeling]]

02_concepts/strain_hardening_criteria.md

Add/verify links:

• [[micromechanics_based_design]]
• [[fiber_bridging_law]]
• [[flaw_design]]
• [[direct_tensile_test]]
• [[distributed_microcracking]]
• [[crack_width_distribution]]

02_concepts/fiber_bridging_law.md

Add/verify links:

• [[strain_hardening_criteria]]
• [[direct_tensile_test]]
• [[fiber_dispersion]]
• [[fatigue_behavior]]
• [[creep_behavior]]
• [[constitutive_modeling]]

Priority 2: Performance domain backlinks

02_concepts/durability.md

Add/verify links:

• [[crack_width_distribution]]
• [[transport_properties]]
• [[transport_properties]]
• [[steel_corrosion]]
• [[service_life_extension]]
• [[life_cycle_analysis]]

02_concepts/resilience.md

Add/verify links:

• [[damage_tolerance]]
• [[distributed_microcracking]]
• [[recycled_aggregate_ecc]]
• [[cyclic_loading]]
• [[impact_resistance]]
• [[structural_recovery]]

02_concepts/sustainability.md

Add/verify links:

• [[life_cycle_analysis]]
• [[green_ecc]]
• [[embodied_carbon]]
• [[service_life_extension]]
• [[SIMSS]]
• [[composite_bridge_deck]]

Priority 3: Application backlinks

Application nodes should link to:

• relevant infrastructure domain node
• relevant ECC property node
• relevant durability/resilience/sustainability node
• source chapter evidence table

Example for link_slab.md:

• [[transportation_infrastructure]]
• [[crack_width_distribution]]
• [[durability]]
• [[service_life_extension]]
• [[composite_bridge_deck]]

Priority 4: Paper card backlinks

Each paper card should include:

• [[micromechanics_based_design]]
• one or more specific concept nodes
• related source chapter evidence file
• PDF status

Implementation plan

1. Do not mass-edit all nodes blindly.
2. Start with high-value nodes: Chapter 2 theory nodes, durability, resilience, sustainability.
3. Then process material/application nodes by category.
4. Finally add paper-card backlinks after original PDFs are acquired.
