Adjustment of the stress-strain curve in the crack band model, (a) master curve and decomposition of the strains into prelocalizaton and post-localization parts, (b) horizontal scaling for an element larger than the physical process zone, and (c) snap back for too large elements reproduced from Bažant and Jirásek [14].
