Physics of cracks and damage
The objective of PhyCracks is to provide a statistical description of the basic processes occurring at the microstructure scale during the failure of materials (damage, plasticity). This description will result in a model of crack propagation that ultimately will lead to predictive constitutive laws less phenomenological than the ones currently used by engineers.
