The model incorporates the stress-state explicitly within the traction-separation law using basic elasticity-plasticity equations combined with a model parameter. The numerical,implementation of the model is able to reproduce ductile fracture observed in a pre-cracked C(T) specimen as well as a notched plate specimen of the same material.
