The key idea was that, in the finite element implementation, the displacement vector and its gradient should be treated as independent fields with the lowest (\n                    <jats:inline-formula>\n                      <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" display=\"inline\" overflow=\"scroll\">\n                        <mml:msub>\n                          <mml:mi>C<\/mml:mi>\n                          <mml:mn>0<\/mml:mn>\n                        <\/mml:msub>\n                      <\/mml:math>\n                    <\/jats:inline-formula>\n                    ) continuity, constrained by a second-order Lagrange multiplier tensor. Coupled with a realistic constitutive law for triaxial softening damage, such as microplane model M7, the known limitations of the classical Crack Band Model were eliminated. Here, we show that the slCBM closely reproduces the size effect revealed by the gap test at various crack-parallel stresses. To describe it, we present an approximate corrective formula, although a strong loading-path dependence limits its applicability. Except for the rare case of zero crack-parallel stresses, the fracture predictions of the line crack models (linear elastic fracture mechanics, phase-field, extended finite element method (XFEM), cohesive crack models) can be as much as 100% in error. We argue that the localization limiter concept must be extended by including the resistance to material rotation gradients. We also show that, without this resistance, the existing strain-gradient damage theories may predict a wrong fracture pattern and have, for Mode II and III fractures, a load capacity error as much as 55%. Finally, we argue that the crack-parallel stress effect must occur in all materials, ranging from concrete to atomistically sharp cracks in crystals.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.2410668121","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,26]],"date-time":"2024-09-26T11:44:08Z","timestamp":1727351048000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1073\/pnas.cm10313","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Sprain energy consequences for damage localization and fracture mechanics"],"prefix":"10.1073","volume":"121","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8262-0294","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Houlin","family":"Xu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Northwestern University, Evanston 60208, IL"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anh Tay","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Northwestern University, Evanston 60208, IL"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zden\u011bk P.","family":"Ba\u017eant","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Northwestern University, Evanston 60208, IL"},{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Northwestern University, Evanston 60208, IL"},{"name":"Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Northwestern University, Evanston 60208, IL"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"341","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0065-2156(08)70121-2"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1115\/1.4011547"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1097-0207(19990910)46:1<131::AID-NME726>3.0.CO;2-J"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0008-8846(76)90007-7"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.2005646117"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1115\/1.4047215"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1115\/1.4054221"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1061\/JENMDT.EMENG-6887"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1061\/(ASCE)0733-9399(2002)128:11(1119)"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02486267"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/nme.1216"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1115\/1.4063896"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1115\/1.4056324"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2165\/00007256-200737010-00006"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0020-7683(67)90049-2"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/oso\/9780192846242.001.0001"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1098\/rsta.1921.0006"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0958-9465(95)95760-W"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_19_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jmps.2023.105470"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_20_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"M.
