a Illustration of the cracked model with a dual-phase morphology subject to uniaxial tension along y-axis (uy). b Enlarged view of dispersed crack initiation and soft inclusions bridging during the early stage of crack propagation. c, d Snapshots of the crack propagation for the dual-phase and the single-phase models, respectively. Contours correspond to the normal stress along y-axis (σy).
