To this aim, a synthesis of the nonlinear models pertaining to Fracture and Contact Mechanics is presented. The issues pertinent to the implementation within the FE discretization framework are also discussed in detail. Finally, a numerical example of fatigue modeling at the mesoscopical level in a fiber-reinforced composite is provided. date: 2006 date_type: published series: Lecture Notes in Applied and Computational Mechanics number: 27 publisher: Springer-Verlag pagerange: 297-304 id_number: 10.1007/3-540-31761-9_33 refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-3-540-31761-6 book_title: Analysis and Simulation of Contact Problems official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/3-540-31761-9_33 citation: Paggi, Marco and Carpinteri, Alberto and Zavarise, Giorgio A unified interface constitutive law for the study of fracture and contact problems in heterogeneous materials.
