  • Abstract
    A microstructural model for the mechanical behaviour of quasi-brittle materials is developed and veri:ed for concrete and bone specimens. The model is based on interface elements equipped with a constitutive law representing non-linear fracture, while continuum elements remain linear elastic. The interface constitutive model is implemented with a sub-stepping scheme. Non-linear geometric e
