     in this paper, we established a strain-gradient damage model based on microcrack analysis for brittle materials. in order to construct a damage-evolution law including the strain-gradient effect, we proposed a resistance curve for microcrack growth before damage localization. by introducing this resistance curve into the strain-gradient constitutive law established in the first part of this work (li, 2011), we obtained an energy potential that is capable to describe the evolution of damage during the loading. this damage model was furthermore implemented into a finite element code. by using this numerical tool, we carried out detailed numerical simulations on different specimens in order to assess the fracture process in brittle materials. the numerical results were compared with previous experimental results. from these studies, we can conclude that the strain gradient plays an important role in predicting fractures due to singular or non-singular stress concentrations and in assessing the size effect observed in experimental studies. moreover, the self-regularization characteristic of the present damage model makes the numerical simulations insensitive to finite-element meshing. we believe that it can be utilized in fracture predictions for brittle or quasi-brittle materials in engineering applications.
