Abstract

In this work, we present the theoretical formulation of a material model combining consistently two kinds of dissipations: the volume-proportional one which is accounted for by continuum damage or con- tinuum plasticity model and the other one proportional to a (macro-) crack which is specified by the traction - separation constitutive model. The details pertinent to the numerical implementation of the proposed model within the framework of incompatible modes are also presented.
