A constitutive modelling framework featuring two scales of behaviour: Fundamentals and applications to quasi-brittle failure

We propose a constitutive modelling framework with enhanced kinematics to capture localised mode of deformation. The total strain is decomposed into two components to reflect an inelastic localisation band embedded in an elastic bulk. This is the usual case in numerical analysis of localised failure...
