Stress and damage progression in a disordered, notched, crystalline sample: Simulations of system size of Lx = 8 μm, Ly = 0.5 mm, and Lz = 1.0 mm where D = 2.995, W = 0.125 mm, and RG = 0.8 where (a) is the undamaged phase, (b) is the early damage phase, (c) is the late damage accumulation phase, (d) is the multiple crack nucleation event, and (e) is the crack propagation where the damage and stress distributions and are displayed (top, middle), respectively, and (f), (g), and (h) are the average stress (Pa) vs. strain, average damage vs. strain, maximum von Mises stress (Pa) vs. strain (bottom) respectively, where the five locations are identified on the curves
