AB - 
	The paper summarizes the study of cracking phenomena in silica filled epoxy material. 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.
