Summary

A one-dimensional micromechanically based model of elastic-microductile damage evolution is presented. The deterioration of the material is represented by Dugdale micro-cracks. Postulating a physically plausible crack growth law a consequent homogenisation predicts the macroscopic hardening and softening behavior during a loading process as well as the corresponding continuous damage evolution and typical characteristics during a final unloading process.
