  1. Smeared crack models are models for explaining tensile resistance of cracked concrete, or masonry. Fixed and rotating refers to the ability of crack to propagate along a fixed axis, or at an angle to the axis of previous crack. If you know the direction of propagation of crack you can use fixed crack model; if you dont, then rotating crack model should be used.

  2. Looks for these documents on the web for the literature of the subject topic. computational strategies of masonry structures by Lourenco. computational modelling of concrete fracture by Rots. Elasto-plastic multifixed smeared crack model for concrete. Building response to ground movements by Holger Netzel.

  3. Following document, especially its Section 2, might help you understand basic concepts related to the discrete and smeared (both fixed and rotating) types of crack models: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=11&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CF4QFjAKahUKEwiC7a6lwe7HAhVBfhoKHdR6Bnk&url=http%3A%2F%2Fheronjournal.nl%2F34-1%2F1.pdf&usg=AFQjCNFt3L2jfuZECxkPEl8Byl-S9sQUBQ Regards.
