Analysis of essential work of rupture using non-local damage-plasticity modelling

We consider the non-local damage plasticity modelling of the essential work of rupture (EWR), i.e. the specific energy required to cause failure within a specimen, resulting in its separation into two parts. The more usual concept of essential work of fracture (EWF) is a measure of the specific ener...
