Unlike standard gradient damage or phase-field fracture models, in this approach damage affects the material strength rather than its stiffness.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThrough analytical and numerical examples, I show how this model, within a consistent variational framework, provides a path toward reconciling several key concepts developed over the centuries, including Griffith and cohesive crack models, damage mechanics, plasticity, strength criteria, and limit analysis.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n[1] B.
