Multi-cracking of brittle thin layers and coating is a phenomenon difficult to model especially because ofthe large number of cracks that may occur. It is overcome herein by conducting calculations, not on thewhole structure, but only on a simplified cell that is representative of the structure by periodic dupli-cation. The coupled criterion is applied within this representative cell (RC) and allows to predict the crackdensity under an increasing applied load, the length of the RC being a variable parameter of the model.Based on the simultaneous fulfilment of an energy and a stress conditions, it allows to take into accountthin layers where the crack onset is energy driven and thicker layers where the stress condition governsthe transverse cracking. Results are in a good agreement with various experiments found in the litera-ture, conducted on cross-ply laminates and coated substrates< Réduire
