Fluid flow in rough fractures and the coupling with the mechanical behaviour of the fractures pose great difficulties for numerical modeling approaches, due to complex fracture surface topographies, the non-linearity of hydromechanical…

The reliability of any day-to-day material is critically dictated by its properties. One factor which governs the behaviour of a material, under a given condition, is the microstructure. Despite the absence of any phase transformation, a…

We introduce a new phase-field model which allows for simulation of incoherent solid/solid transformations. Contrary to previous models which impose coherency at the interface, the zero shear-stress condition characteristic of incoherent…

If a porous media is being damaged by excessive stress, the elastic matrix at every infinitesimal volume separates into a 'solid' and a 'broken' component. The 'solid' part is the one that is capable of transferring stress, whereas the…

An exact analytical solution of the statistical multifragmentation model is found in thermodynamic limit. Excluded volume effects are taken into account in the thermodynamically self-consistent way. The model exhibits a 1-st order phase…

Iceberg calving accounts for around half of the ice lost annually from Antarctica, but realistic representation of fracture and calving in large-scale ice sheet models remains a major unsolved problem in glaciology. We present a new…

It is often observed that thermal stress enhances crack propagation in materials, and conversely, crack propagation can contribute to temperature shifts in materials. In this study, we first consider the thermoelasticity model proposed by…

Symmetry-breaking is pivotal for controlling ferroelectric, ferroelastic and/or ferromagnetic functions of materials, which enables applications in sensors, memories, transducers or actuators. Commonly, ferroic phases emerge from descending…

Modeling crack initiation and propagation in brittle materials is of great importance to be able to predict sudden loss of load-carrying capacity and prevent catastrophic failure under severe dynamic loading conditions. Second-order…

Peridynamics formulates the balance of linear momentum as an integro-differential equation, making it naturally suited for fracture modeling without special treatment of discontinuities. The bond-associated correspondence formulation…

Strongly anisotropic geomaterials undergo fracture under compressive loading. This paper applies a phase-field fracture model to study this fracture process. While phase-field fracture models have several advantages, they provide unphysical…
