EquivalentLocalizationElementforCrackBandModelandasAlternative toElementswith EmbeddedDiscontinuities

The paper presents a novel method making it possible to apply complex material models, such as the microplane model, in finite element calculations with variable finite element sizes, and with element sizes larger than the material characteristic length.
