A damage-based cohesive model is developed for simulating crack growth due to fatigue loading. The cohesive model follows a linear damage-dependent traction-separation relation coupled with a damage evolution equation. The rate of damage evolution is characterized by three material parameters corres

Almtraet-A cohesive damage zone model of the Dugdale-Barenblatt type is presented to explore the effects of microscopic damage on a macroscopic crack in ductile materials. A semi-intinite macrocrack in a power-law plastic material under antiplane shear (mode III) is considered. The microscopic damag
## Abstract A model which allows the introduction of displacements jumps to conventional finite elements is developed. The path of the discontinuity is completely independent of the mesh structure. Unlike soβcalled βembedded discontinuityβ models, which are based on incompatible strain modes, there
