Introducing the elementary cohesive/overlapping models in tension/compression, it will be shown that it is possible to get a deep insight into the ductile-to-brittle transition and into the scaling of the material properties usually detected when testing quasi-brittle material specimens or structures at different size-scales publisher: Wiley-VCH Verlag date: 2012 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Carpinteri, Alberto and Paggi, Marco Modelling strain localization by cohesive/overlapping zones in tension/compression: Brittleness size effects and scaling in material properties.
