We address brittle fracture in anisotropic materials featuring two-fold and four-fold symmetric fracture toughness. For these two classes, we develop two variational phase-field models based on the family of regularizations proposed by…

Finite-dimensional non-canonical Hamiltonian systems arise naturally from Hamilton's principle in phase space. We present a method for deriving variational integrators that can be applied to perturbed non-canonical Hamiltonian systems on…

In variational phase-field modeling of brittle fracture, the functional to be minimized is not convex, so that the necessary stationarity conditions of the functional may admit multiple solutions. The solution obtained in an actual…

A novel phase field material point method is introduced for robust simulation of dynamic fracture in elastic media considering the most general case of anisotropic surface energy. Anisotropy is explicitly introduced through a properly…

Affine variational inequalities (AVI) are an important problem class that generalize systems of linear equations, linear complementarity problems and optimality conditions for quadratic programs. This paper describes PATHAVI, a…

The phase field model is a widely used mathematical approach for describing crack propagation in continuum damage fractures. In the context of phase field fracture simulations, adaptive finite element methods (AFEM) are often employed to…

The phase field fracture method has emerged as a promising computational tool for modelling a variety of problems including, since recently, hydrogen embrittlement and stress corrosion cracking. In this work, we demonstrate the potential of…

We introduce a phase-field method for continuous modeling of cracks with frictional contacts. Compared with standard discrete methods for frictional contacts, the phase-field method has two attractive features: (1) it can represent…

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…

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…

We present an adaptive space-time phase field formulation for dynamic fracture of brittle shells. Their deformation is characterized by the Kirchhoff-Love thin shell theory using a curvilinear surface description. All kinematical objects…

Fracture of viscoelastic materials is considered to be a complex phenomenon due to their highly rate sensitive behavior. In this context, we are interested in the quasi-static response of a viscoelastic solid subjected to damage. This paper…

Fracture is a fundamental mechanism of materials failure. Propagating cracks can exhibit a rich dynamical behavior controlled by a subtle interplay between microscopic failure processes in the crack tip region and macroscopic elasticity. We…

In this work, we consider adaptive mesh refinement for a monolithic phase-field description for fractures in brittle materials. Our approach is based on an a posteriori error estimator for the phase-field variational inequality realizing…

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…

We propose a new direction-dependent model for the unilateral constraint involved in the phase field approach to fracture and also in the continuous damage mechanics models. The construction of this phase field model is informed by…

This research rigorously investigates the convergence of adaptive finite element methods for regularized variational models of quasi-static brittle fracture in elastic solids. We specifically examine a novel Ambrosio-Tortorelli (AT1)…

A novel variational framework to model the fatigue behavior of brittle materials based on a phase-field approach to fracture is presented. The standard regularized free energy functional is modified introducing a fatigue degradation…

The aim of the paper is to propose a paradigm shift for the variational approach of brittle fracture. Both dynamics and the limit case of statics are treated in a same framework. By contrast with the usual incremental approach, we use a…

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…
