To properly handle material failure, one needs to be able to predict, for a given loading, the possible initiation and propagation of cracks.Aside from the Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics, which only deals with existing cracks, this can be achieved through continuum damage mechanics, which also accounts for the associated progressive loss of stiffness. However, despite their advantages, those models suffer from a certain number of deficiencies, especially when handling strain localization. As it is, while local damage models suffer from spurious mesh dependency, the nonlocal ones, which were developed to address this issue, fail to make a highly damaged zone equivalent to a crack.A nonlocal Eikonal-based formulation with damage-dependent ...
