damage to fracture (formation and propagation of the discontinuity)

hello,



I am working on modeling of Continuum damage in isotropic materials. I have written a Matlab code for modeling of a continuous damage and I have verified it with several examples. In this modeling, I have mesh-size independent through the smeared damage model. Now, my aim is to present a continous-discontinous model.
