We consider a family of vectorial models for cohesive fracture, which may incorporate $\mathrm{SO}(n)$-invariance. The deformation belongs to the space of generalized functions of bounded variation and the energy contains an (elastic)…

We extend a phase-field/gradient damage formulation for cohesive fracture to the dynamic case. The model is characterized by a regularized fracture energy that is linear in the damage field, as well as non-polynomial degradation functions.…

We study an approximation scheme for a variational theory of cohesive fracture in a one-dimensional setting. Here, the energy functional is approximated by a family of functionals depending on a small parameter $0 < \varepsilon \ll 1$ and…

Reproducing the key features of fracture behavior under multiaxial stress states is essential for accurate modeling. Experimental evidence indicates that three intrinsic material properties govern fracture nucleation in elastic materials:…

The main aim of this three-part work is to provide a unified consistent framework for the phase-field modeling of cohesive fracture. In this first paper we establish the mathematical foundation of a cohesive phase-field model by proving a…

We propose a variational phase-field model of fracture capable of accounting for arbitrary closed convex strength domains. Unlike traditional models based on Ambrosio and Tortorelli regularization, the phase-field variable does not affect…

Variational phase-field models of brittle fracture are powerful tools for studying Griffith-type crack propagation in complex scenarios. However, as approximations of Griffith's theory-which does not incorporate a strength criterion-these…

Variational models for cohesive fracture are based on the idea that the fracture energy is released gradually as the crack opening grows. Recently, [Conti, Focardi, and Iurlano, Ann. Inst. H. Poincar\'e C Anal. Non Lin\'eaire, 2016]…

This is the second paper of a three-part work the main aim of which is to provide a unified consistent framework for the phase-field modelling of cohesive fracture. Building on the theoretical foundations of the first paper, where…

In this paper we propose a notion of irreversibility for the evolution of cracks in presence of cohesive forces, which allows for different responses in the loading and unloading processes, motivated by a variational approximation with…

Phase-field models of fracture introduce smeared cracks of width commensurate with a regularisation length parameter $\epsilon$ and obeying a minimum energy principle. Mesh adaptivity naturally suggests itself as a means of supplying…

This paper concludes a three-part effort aimed at developing a consistent and unified framework for the phase-field modeling of cohesive fracture. Building on the theoretical foundations established in the first two parts, which included a…

We consider a free-boundary and free-discontinuity energy connecting phase separation and fracture in an elastic material. The energy excludes the contribution of phase boundaries in the cracked region, providing a heuristic approximation…

Phase-field approaches to fracture based on energy minimization principles have been rapidly gaining popularity in recent years, and are particularly well-suited for simulating crack initiation and growth in complex fracture networks. In…

Standard phase-field fracture methods are rooted in brittle fracture theory and therefore do not inherently prescribe a material strength for crack nucleation, while also struggling to capture cohesive fracture behaviour. Recent…

We study stochastic homogenisation of free-discontinuity surface functionals defined on piecewise rigid functions which arise in the study of fracture in brittle materials. In particular, under standard assumptions on the density, we show…

The goal of the current work is to explore direction-dependent damage initiation and propagation within an arbitrary anisotropic solid. In particular, we aim at developing anisotropic cohesive phase-field (PF) damage models by extending the…

We derive Griffith functionals in the framework of linearized elasticity from nonlinear and frame indifferent energies in brittle fracture via Gamma-convergence. The convergence is given in terms of rescaled displacement fields measuring…

While crack nucleation and propagation in the brittle or quasi-brittle regime can be predicted via variational or material-force-based phase field fracture models, these models often assume that the underlying elastic response of the…

This paper addresses the modeling of fracture in quasi-brittle materials using a phase-field approach to the description of crack topology. Within the computational mechanics community, several studies have treated the issue of modeling…
