The model numerically simulates the multiple-cracking process of ECC for the first time. The stress transferred to the matrix at various distances from the crack is derived. All key influential factors have been considered including chemical bond, slip-hardening, fiber rupture, and many others. Stress-strain curve of this material under tension was simulated which agrees well with experimental observations. This model provides insights into cause of the unsaturated-cracking phenomenon, which is most concerned for ECC application.
