AB  - The fracture behavior of concrete depends on the properties and distributions of its primary phases (cement-based matrix, aggregate inclusions, and matrix-inclusion interfaces). The quality of fracture simulations at the material mesoscale, at which these phases are explicitly modeled, depends largely on the discretization strategy. This paper describes a Voronoi-based discretization procedure for fracture simulations of particulate materials such as concrete. Attention is given to the discretization of individual particles, as- sumed to be convex polyhedra, within the material domain. Explicit modeling of the matrix-inclusion inter- face enables more realistic simulations of inclusion debonding. The dependence of interface fracture on parti-…
