Abstract
The fictitious crack model is a non-linear fracture mechanics representation which has been well known and generally accepted for application to concrete fracture for about 10 years. It is a general model which in principle is applicable to all kinds of materials. At present, however, practical and numerical difficulties prevent its application to many types of materials, particularly to metals. In the future, better knowledge of material properties and more powerful computer programs may widen the potential field of application. The possibility of application to different types of materials is discussed.
