Comparing experimental fracture properties and micromechanical (or global-local/multiscale) finite element simulations
I am interested in developing a global-local finite element model (micro/macro) to simulate flexural testing of a composite material. Flexural loading will be applied on global model (macro) and crack propagation will be simulated in the local model (micro). I want to compare stress intensity factor or any other fracture property obtained from local model (micro) with that of experimental results.
I would appreciate if anyone could suggest some references/literature in this area. Any kind of suggestions would be great!

Thank you
Dr. Hu,
Thank you for providing me the reference. This paper partially fits into my interest. I will read the paper in detail.
