Micro-to-macro connection techniques constitute a key ingredient in the formulation of multiscale strategies. In this contribution several connection methods are explored for the concurrent multiscale analysis of brittle heterogeneous materials.

Mesh refinement is employed in the domains where crack coalescence and growth take place. The original contribution presented in this manuscript consists in the study of different strong and weak locality constraints that connect coarse and fine resolution domains. Standard collocation and average compatibility are considered and serve as a basis for the development of two new interscale links.
