Phase-field modeling -- a continuous approach to discontinuities -- is gaining popularity for simulating rock fractures due to its ability to handle complex, discontinuous geometry without an explicit surface tracking algorithm. None of the…
Most of the FFT methods available for homogenization of the mechanical response use the strain/deformation gradient as unknown, imposing their compatibility using Green's functions or projection operators. This implies the allocation of…
