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.

After a fixed number of steps, the left tail has a Gaussian profile under minimal assumptions. Remarkably, a similar phenomenon occurs when we consider a positive random walk on the cone of positive-semidefinite matrices. After a fixed number of steps, the minimum eigenvalue is described by a Gaussian random matrix model.<br>\r\nThis talk introduces a new way to make this intuition rigorous. The methodology addresses an open problem in computational mathematics about sparse random embeddings.
