โฆ Synopsis
A brittle material presents significant loss of strength after being subjected to a process of repeated loading and unloading. This effect is usually described in a generic way as the body being 'damaged'. A very simple method for treating this damage is to assume that, aside from the main cracks which characterize the limit strength of the material, other cracks also exist which modify its fundamental stress state and which therefore influence the stress intensity factor of the main cracks.

In order to eliminate ratcheting a so-called intergranular strain has been added to a hypoplastic constitutive model. This additional state variable represents the deformation of the interface layer between the grains. The new concept is outlined and comparisons with and without intergranular strain
