The present work deals with the numerical resolution of coupled 3D-2D problems arising from the simulation of fluid flow in fractured porous media modeled via the Discrete Fracture and Matrix (DFM) model. According to the DFM model,…
We introduce a class of models based on near crack tip degradation of materials that can account for fracture growth under cyclic loads below the Griffith threshold. We incorporate the gradual degradation due to a cyclic load through a flow…
The classical variational phase-field model for brittle fracture effectively predicts the growth of large pre-existing cracks. However, the modeling of crack nucleation continues to be a significant challenge. Crack nucleation under uniform…
In this article we formulate and implement a computational multiphase periporomechanics model for unguided fracturing in unsaturated porous media. The same governing equation for the solid phase applies on and off cracks. Crack formation in…
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…
Phase field models are promising to tackle various fracture problems where a diffusive crack is introduced and modelled using the phase variable. Owing to the non-convexity of the energy functional, the derived partial differential…
We characterize both analytically and numerically short-range forces between spatially diffuse interfaces in multi-phase-field models of polycrystalline materials. During late-stage solidification, crystal-melt interfaces may attract or…
Engineering alloys generally exhibit multi-phase microstructures. For simulating their microstructure evolution during solid-state phase transformation, CALPHAD-guided multi-phase-field models coupled with micro-mechanics have proven to be…
Rigorous computer simulations of propagating electromagnetic fields have become an important tool for optical metrology and design of nanostructured optical components. A vectorial finite element method (FEM) is a good choice for an…
This article presents a new phase-field formulation for non-equilibrium interface conditions in rapid phase transformations. With a particular way of defining concentration fields, the classical sharp and diffuse (thick) interface theories…
The present work proposes an approach for fluid-solid and contact interaction problems including thermo-mechanical coupling and reversible phase transitions. The solid field is assumed to consist of several arbitrarily-shaped, undeformable…
In this contribution, a novel framework for simulating mixed-mode failure in rock is presented. Based on a hybrid phase-field model for mixed-mode fracture, separate phase-field variables are introduced for tensile (mode I) and shear (mode…
The conventional model governing the spread of fractures in elastic material is formulated by coupling linear elasticity with deformation systems. The classical linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) model is derived based on the…
A model of multicellular systems with several types of cells is developed from the phase field model. The model is presented as a set of partial differential equations of the field variables, each of which expresses the shape of one cell.…
The shape of a crack front propagating through a thin sample is studied using a phase field model. The model is shown to have a well defined sharp interface limit. The crack front is found to be an ellipse with large axis the width of the…
Diffuse interface models are widely used to describe evolution of multi-phase systems of different nature. Dispersed "inclusions", described by the phase field distribution, are usually three dimensional objects. When describing elastic…
Materials with network-like microstructure, including polymers, are the backbone for many natural and human-made materials such as gels, biological tissues, metamaterials, and rubbers. Fracture processes in these networked materials are…
The classical phase-field modeling approaches for multiphase problems represent each phase using a regularized characteristic function, which necessarily introduces a simplex constraint for the phase-field variables. Additionally, the…
Flexoelectricity refers to a phenomenon which involves a coupling of the mechanical strain gradient and electric polarization. In this study, a meshless Fragile Points Method (FPM), is presented for analyzing flexoelectric effects in…
In the first part of this two-paper series, a new Fragile Points Method (FPM), in both primal and mixed formulations, is presented for analyzing flexoelectric effects in 2D dielectric materials. In the present paper, a number of numerical…
