title = "A discrete 2D quasi-static cyclic constitutive model incorporating hysteresis for quasi-brittle materials",
abstract = "A quasi-static constitutive model for a cracked material under mode I and II is presented in this extended abstract. This model incorporates the hysteretic phenomenon, which is observed during experimental loading. This model is subsequently adapted in a cohesive zone model, which is implemented in the partition of unity finite element method.",
