Simulations utilizing local constitutive equations for strainâsoftening materials are known to be pathologically meshâdependent. The rational solution to this problem is to use nonlocal material models. In this paper, we discuss the application of the integralâbased approach to the simulation of nonâlocal damage accumulation and fracture. Various combinations of nonâlocalities with common spatial symmetries are analysed analytically and numerically. The symmetries include the plane strain and the axisymmetric cases, as well as the presence of symmetry planes and cyclic symmetries. Although not a symmetry, the practically important case of thin plates is also analysed. We show that the delocalization procedure should be executed using symmetryâadapted averaging kernels. For the considered spatial symmetries, analytical closedâform expressions are obtained. Moreover, a new easyâtoâuse averaging kernel is suggested, the same for 3D, plane strain and plane stress applications. To showcase the delocalization procedures, we consider a ductile damage model, based on the multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient, as well as hyperelastic relations between stresses and strains. FEM solutions for a series of problems are presented, including graduate damage accumulation, crack initiation and fracture.
