3D cellular automata finite element method with explicit microstructure: modeling quasi-brittle fracture using meshfree damage propagation
Quasi-brittle fracture is an emergent characteristic, and this cannot be treated satisfactorily with the numerical methods based on macromechanics. Because of their complex microstructure, the continuum approach can be too simple for these materials, and needs a finer discretization to obtain satisf...
