Fracture Laws for Simulating Compressive Fracture in Lattice-Type Models

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper explores possible fracture laws that can be used in meso-level lattice-typemodels for simulating the behaviour of cohesive frictional materials like concrete and rock. A newfailure criterion is proposed, which includes three possible mechanisms that appear to explain thefracture of these materials at the macro-level.
