Abstract

The paper deals with the novel multiscale approaches for modelling of both quasi-brittle and ductile damage responses of heterogeneous materials. The damage is induced at the microstructural level and, after the homogenization procedure, it is included in the constitutive stiffness of the material point at macrolevel. The derived algorithms are implemented into the finite element software ABAQUS. The new two-scale transition procedures have been verified on the standard benchmark examples.
