Abstract

A continuous-discontinuous approach to simulate failure is presented. The formulation covers both diffuse damage processes in the bulk material as well as the initiation and propagation of discrete cracks. Comparison with experimental data on layered sandstone shows that the modeling strategy accurately captures the physics of the failure process.<br />Structural Engineering<br />Civil Engineering and Geosciences
