Abstract

This contribution presents a two-scale formulation devised to simulate failure in materials with het- erogeneous micro-structure. The mechanical model accounts for the activation of cohesive cracks in the micro-scale domain. The evolution/propagation of cohesive micro-cracks can induce material inst...
