The present paper focuses on the discretization and implementation of the Thick Level Set (TLS) approach for quasi-brittle failure when dealing with both local and non-local development of damage. The TLS damage model introduces a length scale and nonlocality in the Fracture Process Zone (FPZ) and it handles the continuous to discontinuous failure transition. The added nonlocality is limited to the FPZ and therefore the model is local away from the FPZ or before its emergence. It leads to concurrent development of local and nonlocal damage during simulations. This paper presents a space-time discretization that handles concurrent computations in a unified manner. It is based on an explicit time discretization written as a predictor-corrector scheme and a space discretization that uses specific approximation functions (modes) that embed nonlocality. It also uses an alternative implementation of the eXtended Finite Element Method (X-FEM) enrichment used in the TLS which is based on virtual nodes. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
