## Abstract For a material exhibiting hysteresis such as quasiβbrittle materials, it is natural to consider that hysteresis and fatigue are related to each other. One shows in the present work that damage, from the __continuum damage mechanics__ point of view, may be seen as the link between both p

β¦ Synopsis
In the direct macroscopic approach, we present a unified formulation of brittle damage and fatigue damage models for elastic materials. The yield-surface notion is used in the brittle law, but is substituted by the loading-unloading irreversibility concept in the fatigue law. However, the latter contains a bounding surface and possibly an endurance domain. The two laws are compared. In the indirect approach, we construct a physical damage model by the growth of microvoids in an elastic matrix, using the homogenization method. We show how this approach removes some assumptions and empirical features of the direct approach. Finally, we give the numerical results and the model obtained when porosity is the one damage parameter.

## Abstract Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are advanced materials that possess continuously graded properties, such that the growth of cracks is strongly dependent on the gradation of the material. In this work a thermodynamic consistent framework for crack propagation in FGMs is presented, b
