This thesis is focused on the modeling of crack propagation in random heterogeneous materials or induced by desiccation. A stochastic approach to the modeling of brittle fracture in random media is first proposed. Monte Carlo simulations are specifically conducted to explore microstructural configurations and to subsequently build and identify a mesoscopic phase-field model. In this framework, the stochastic elastic coefficients are defined as fields of apparent properties, obtained under two types of boundary conditions, while the fracture parameters are assumed deterministic and are identified by solving an inverse problem. The methodology allows stochastic simulations of crack propagation to be performed without requiring a fine-grid dis...
