Abstract
There are two distinct challenges in the development of a multi-scale damage percolation model: (i) the development and application of the micromechanical models used to predict damage initiation and evolution and (ii) obtaining the experimental particle distributions for the model to use. While the development of the micromechanical models and implementation of the percolation model is a significant endeavour, obtaining the experimental particle distributions is equally as challenging, and arguably more tedious.
