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 date: 2012 date_type: published publication: ZAMM - Journal of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics / Zeitschrift für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik volume: 92 number: 10 publisher: Wiley-VCH Verlag pagerange: 829-840 id_number: 10.1002/zamm.201200035 refereed: TRUE issn: 0044-2267 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/zamm.201200035 citation: Carpinteri, Alberto and Paggi, Marco Modelling strain localization by cohesive/overlapping zones in tension/compression: Brittleness size effects and scaling in material properties.
