Abstract

A non-local voxel FEM is developed for simulating the failure phenomena of heterogeneous brittle materials. The micro-scale or meso-scale morphology of heterogeneous materials is realized by the image-based modeling technique, whereas the cracking is simulated by the element vanish technique. Also, the nonlocal technique of integral-averaging type is effectively utilized to avoid both the stress oscillation errors on the material interfaces and the spurious dependency on the voxel size for crack propagation problems. The three-dimensional numerical simulations successfully demonstrate the cracking phenomena induced by the micro-scale heterogeneities and the so-called biaxial effect that is typical in the strength characteristics of concrete.
