The development of predictive tools that bridge microscopic to macroscopic scales in brittle fracture is the key challenge of this thesis.In the context of quasi-static planar crack propagation under mode I loading, it has been shown, using first-order weight-function perturbation approaches that, for weak heterogeneities, when the material is homogeneous in the propagation direction, the Griffith's threshold is always reached for all points of the crack front so that the effective toughness is simply equal to the average of the local toughness.Here, we address the same problem but with stronger toughness heterogeneities. In the first part, we consider a half-plane crack embedded in an infinite body or in a finite thickness plate and we ...
