The self-consistent scheme is used to model the state of an elastic material with a very high density of nearly connected cracks. Then fracture mechanics is used to pose the problem of the complete and final failure of the material under uniaxial and eqibiaxial tension. These failure states are taken to be those of the extreme case of brittle fracture. A specific form for the resulting extreme brittle failure criterion is given. ©2002 ASME
