Numerical analyses of cracking phenomena were performed using Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) for a full scale element as well as in a microscale, for the Representative Volume Element (RVE). Experimental verification consists of both C2 tests for real products and in-situ tensile tests and microstructural observations with the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). At the end, a summary with conclusions related to the prepared numerical analyses and experiments is included.}, doi = {10.4467/2353737XCT.17.121.6662}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/czasopismo-techniczne/article/numerical-analysis-of-damage-in-silica-filled-epoxy-products-using-xfem-and-its-verifications} }
