This paper describes a computational tool for the efficient study of failure in brittle heterogeneous materials. By means of several examples, it is demonstrated that the proposed tool is adequate for the analysis of materials that show localized failure modes. This case is particular since the main non-linearities concentrate in a small area compared to the whole specimen. The use of the method is...
