A grain level model for the study of failure initiation and evolution in polycrystalline brittle materials. Part I: Theory and numerical implementation

A model is presented to analyze material microstructures subjected to quasi-static and dynamic loading. A representative volume element (RVE) composed of a set of grains is analyzed with special consideration to the size distribution, morphology, chemical phases, and presence and location of initial...
