3
A novel multiscale variational method for modelling fracture propagation is proposed. The
4
method employs strong discontinuity kinematics enhancement, enabling macroscopic cracks to be modelled explicitly, while minimum remeshing is ensured. In addition, the response of quadrature points in the bulk is up-scaled using a Micromechanical continua, which enables the evolution of directional
5
micro-defects (e.g. microcracks) without venturing into prohibitive computational burden. Noticeably,
6
the method allows the Micromechanical continua to interact with macroscopic cracks. The framework is
7
conveniently formulated as a variational setting to provide a minimum energy solution. The new computational framework has been found to diagnose realistic failure mechanisms in quasi-brittle materials.
