In this special collection the contributing authors present the latest advances in simulating fracture and damage with a variety of approaches, including peridynamics, phase-field, atomistic, discrete-element method, and cohesive-zone models. The importance of nonlocality in fracture and damage is emphasized by many of these articles. In many special applications, however, models based on classical approaches are also shown to be able to offer insight into the studied phenomenon.

The collection of 19 articles is split between two volumes: Volume 244, Issue 1–2 (this opens in a new tab) and Volume 245, Issue 1-2 (this opens in a new tab).
