 Since the fracture parameters are best manifested in the scaling properties of the size effect law, the nominal strengths of three geometrically self-similar notched beams are simulated in a 3D finite element framework. A collection of RUCs is embeded above the notch while the rest of beam has coarse finite elements, see Figure. Python script helped to generate the embedded geometry using hanging nodes and master-slave node relation. Since the fracture parameters are best manifested in the scaling properties of the size effect law, the nominal strengths of three geometrically self-similar notched beams are simulated in a 3D finite element framework.

 The simulation stems from damage mechanics. A fixed orientation of three perpendicular planes, aligned with material orientation axes, defines six damage variables; three for normal stress and three for shear. The OOFEM class //CompoDamageMat// handles such damage material. The left Figure shows the notched beam with embedded damaging RUCs, the right Figure displays the force-displacement curve. The simulation stems from damage mechanics.
