Damage Formulation in Generalized Mechanics Based on a Variational Formulation

• Damage mechanics is often modeled by using adhoc or phenomenological methodologies, which is useful but challenging to generalize. Especially inapplications with several length scales, a homogenization procedure leads to ametamaterial to be modeled by the generalized mechanics. We aim for a unifiedtheory of generalized damage mechanics by following a variation purelyalformulation.
