Abstract:

We derive a cohesive fracture model by homogenizing a periodic composite material whose microstructure is characterized by the presence of brittle inclusions in a reticulated unbreakable elastic structure.

Keywords: Homogenization, $\Gamma$-convergence, Free-discontinuity problems, cohesive zone model
