This work is devoted to the analysis of convergence of an alternate (staggered) minimization algorithm in the framework of phase field models of fracture. The energy of the system is characterized by a nonlinear splitting of tensile and…

This paper concerns the analysis and implementation of a novel iterative staggered scheme for quasi-static brittle fracture propagation models, where the fracture evolution is tracked by a phase field variable. The model we consider is a…

Phase field evolutions are obtained by means of time discrete schemes, providing (or selecting) at each time step an equilibrium configuration of the system, which is usually computed by descent methods for the free energy (e.g.staggered…

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…

An extension of the two-step staggered time discretization of linear elastodynamics in stress-velocity form to systems involving internal variables subjected to a possibly non-linear dissipative evolution is proposed. The original scheme is…

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.…

The semi-implicit (partly decoupled, also called staggered or fraction-step) time discretization is applied to compressible nonlinear dynamical models of viscoelastic solids in the Eulerian description, i.e.\ in the actual deforming…

Variational phase-field models of fracture are widely used to simulate nucleation and propagation of cracks in brittle materials. They are based on the approximation of the solutions of free-discontinuity fracture energy by two smooth…

We introduce a novel constructive approach to define time evolution of critical points of an energy functional. Our procedure, which is different from other more established approaches based on viscosity approximations in infinite…

The modeling of cracks is an important topic - both in engineering as well as in mathematics. Since crack propagation is characterized by a free boundary value problem (the geometry of the crack is not known beforehand, but part of the…

There is currently an increasing interest in developing efficient solvers for phase-field modeling of brittle fracture. The governing equations for this problem originate from a constrained minimization of a non-convex energy functional,…

A non-isothermal phase field model that captures both displacive and diffusive phase transformations in a unified framework is presented. The model is developed in a formal thermodynamic setting, which provides guidance on admissible…

The phase-field model for fracture, despite its popularity and ease of implementation comes with its set of computational challenges. They are the non-convex energy functional, variational inequality due to fracture irreversibility, the…

Quasistatic evolutions of critical points of time-dependent energies exhibit piecewise smooth behavior, making them useful for modeling continuum mechanics phenomena like elastic-plasticity and fracture. Traditionally, such evolutions have…

We present an energy-preserving mechanic formulation for dynamic quasi-brittle fracture in an Eulerian-Lagrangian formulation, where a second-order phase-field equation controls the damage evolution. The numerical formulation adapts in…

An abstract 2nd-order evolution equation or inclusion is discretised in time in such a way that the energy is conserved at least in qualified cases, typically in the cases when the governing energy is component-wise quadratic or…

We present a continuum theory to describe elastically induced phase transitions between coherent solid phases. In the limit of vanishing elastic constants in one of the phases, the model can be used to describe fracture on the basis of the…

The non-modal transient growth of perturbations in horizontal and inclined channel flows of two immiscible fluids is studied. 3D perturbations are examined in order to find the optimal perturbations that attain the maximum amplification of…

The numerical integration of phase-field equations is a delicate task which needs to recover at the discrete level intrinsic properties of the solution such as energy dissipation and maximum principle. Although the theory of energy…

The phase-field fracture free-energy functional is non-convex with respect to the displacement and the phase field. This results in a poor performance of the conventional monolithic solvers like the Newton-Raphson method. In order to…
