- The prediction of material failure is of major importance in engineering and materials Science. In the past two decades, a huge effort was made to develop novel, efficient, and accurate computational methods for fracture and an enormous progress was made. This research is of significance as it presents a novel method that predicts crack patterns in quasi-brittle cohesive heterogeneous materials. The proposed micro-scale simulation model evidence the rigour of the method. The research has applications in solving practical problems, namely in supporting the manufacturing and design of new products, and as such is likely to attract the interest of manufacturers.
