Coupling a discrete twin model with cohesive elements to understand twin-induced fracture

The interplay between twinning and fracture in metals under deformation is an open question. The plastic strain concentration created by twin bands can induce large stresses on the grain boundaries. We present simulations in which a continuum model describing discrete twins is coupled with a crystal...
