An asynchronous, variational method for simulating elastica in complex contact and impact scenarios is developed. Asynchronous Variational Integrators (AVIs) are extended to handle contact forces by associating different time steps to…
We propose and analyze an adaptive finite element method for a phase-field model of dynamic brittle fracture. The model couples a second-order hyperbolic equation for elastodynamics with the Ambrosio-Tortorelli regularization of the…
This work addresses an efficient Global-Local approach supplemented with predictor-corrector adaptivity applied to anisotropic phase-field brittle fracture. The phase-field formulation is used to resolve the sharp crack surface topology on…
Asynchronous Variational Integrators (AVIs) have demonstrated long-time good energy behavior. It was previously conjectured that this remarkable property is due to their geometric nature: they preserve a discrete multisymplectic form.…
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…
An adaptive phase field method is proposed for crack propagation in brittle materials under quasi-static loading. The adaptive refinement is based on the recovery type error indicator, which is combined with the quadtree decomposition. Such…
Modeling fracture is computationally expensive even in computational simulations of two-dimensional problems. Hence, scaling up the available approaches to be directly applied to large components or systems crucial for real applications…
The phase field approach to modeling fracture uses a diffuse damage field to represent a crack. This addresses the singularities that arise at the crack tip in computations with sharp interface models, mollifying some of the difficulties…
Amortized variational inference (AVI) replaces instance-specific local inference with a global inference network. While AVI has enabled efficient training of deep generative models such as variational autoencoders (VAE), recent empirical…
We propose a novel variational phase-field model for fracture in anisotropic materials. The model is specifically designed to allow a more flexible calibration of crack nucleation than existing anisotropic fracture formulations, while…
The phase field fracture method is attracting significant interest. Phase field approaches have enabled predicting - on arbitrary geometries and dimensions - complex fracture phenomena such as crack branching, coalescence, deflection and…
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…
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…
The $\xi$-based spatially adaptive three-field variable phase-field model for quasi-static anti-plane crack propagation is introduced. A dynamically optimized regularization length is integrated to improve computational efficiency and…
The phase field paradigm, in combination with a suitable variational structure, has opened a path for using Griffith's energy balance to predict the fracture of solids. These so-called phase field fracture methods have gained significant…
We present a phase field modeling framework for hydrogen assisted cracking. The model builds upon a coupled mechanical and hydrogen diffusion response, driven by chemical potential gradients, and a hydrogen-dependent fracture energy…
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…
The variational approach to fracture is effective for simulating the nucleation and propagation of complex crack patterns, but is computationally demanding. The model is a strongly nonlinear non-convex variational inequality that demands…
Fracture mechanics is crucial for many fields of engineering, as precisely predicting failure of structures and parts is required for efficient designs. The simulation of failure processes is, from a mechanical and a numerical point of…
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…
