The finite element modelling of discrete fracture in quasi-brittle materials

An effective methodology for discrete fracture in quasi-brittle material is presented within an explicit finite discrete element framework. Simple pragmatic models are envisaged that reflect the data deficiency of the quasi-brittle material and recover the observed physical response within engineeri...
