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
