- This study develops the first image-based quadtree SBFEM method for mesoscale fracture simulations of concrete, representing an important step forward in our series of efforts in elucidating the fundamental failure mechanisms of concrete. The vitality of this method lies in the use of the very efficient and flexible quadtree meshing technique of complicated geometries with multi-phase interfaces, and the SBFEM’s semi-analytical nature. The method has inspired others to develop mesoscale models for particle-reinforced polymers (Mathematics 2020, 8(4), 543) and fibre-reinforced cementitious materials (Composite Structures 2020, 235, 111744).
