The previously published applications of the first author’s general mesomechanical concept are surveyed to show a logical integration of the newly presented application to fracture into the general image. The newly presented application models fracture of bodies with cracks. This way of presentation emphasizes that the respective model is not any ad hoc chosen formula, but that it is incorporated in a widely applicable general scheme. In the current study, attention is paid to classical technical materials.
