Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) of high energy density and light-weight design, have found wide applications in electronic devices and systems. Degradation mechanisms that caused by lithiation is a main challenging problem for LIBs with high…
In this work, we present a computational framework for coupled electro-chemo-(nonlinear) mechanics at the particle scale for solid-state batteries. The framework accounts for interfacial fracture between the active particles and solid…
Charge layering in the close vicinity of charged interfaces is a well known effect, extensively reported in both experiments and simulations of Room Temperature Ionic Liquids (RTIL) and concentrated aqueous-like electrolytes. The…
Conformal interfaces play an important role in quantum critical systems. In closed systems, the transmission properties of conformal interfaces are typically characterized by two quantities: One is the effective central charge…
The statistical mechanics of equilibrium interfaces has been well-established for over a half century. In the last decade, a wealth of observations have made increasingly clear that a new perspective is required to describe interfaces…
As phase-field modeling (PFM) is booming across various disciplines and has been proven fitted for numerically modeling interfacial problems, we aim at taking a step back to revisit its fundamental validity, in the light of non-equilibrium…
Numerical simulations of brittle fracture using phase-field approaches often employ a discrete approximation framework that applies the same order of interpolation for the displacement and phase-field variables. Most common is to use linear…
This study aims to unravel the micro-mechanical underpinnings of the emergence of the fractocohesive length scale as a central concept in modern fracture mechanics. A thermodynamically consistent damage and fracture model for elastomers is…
Compressive-shear fracture is commonly observed in rock-like materials. However, this fracture type cannot be captured by current phase field models (PFMs), which have been proven an effective tool for modeling fracture initiation,…
This paper presents an efficient and quantitative phase-field model for elastically heterogeneous alloys that ensures the two mechanical compatibilities$\unicode{x2014}$static and kinematic, in conjunction with chemical equilibrium within…
We investigate interfacial properties between two highly incompatible polymers of different stiffness. The extensive Monte Carlo simulations of the binary polymer melt yield detailed interfacial profiles and the interfacial tension via an…
An estimate of the effective toughness of heterogeneous materials is proposed based on the Phase Field Fracture model implemented in an FFT homogenization solver. The estimate is based on the simulation of the deformation of representative…
Geologic shear fractures such as faults and slip surfaces involve marked friction along the discontinuities as they are subjected to significant confining pressures. This friction plays a critical role in the growth of these shear…
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…
The particle-in-cell (PIC) method has been widely used for plasma simulation, because of its noise-reduction capability and moderate computational cost. The immersed finite element (IFE) method is efficient for solving interface problems on…
Strongly anisotropic geomaterials undergo fracture under compressive loading. This paper applies a phase-field fracture model to study this fracture process. While phase-field fracture models have several advantages, they provide unphysical…
We present a new theoretical and computational framework for modelling electro-chemo-mechanical fracture. The model combines a phase field description of fracture with a fully coupled characterisation of electrolyte behaviour, surface…
The developed computational approach is capable of initiating and propagating cracks inside materials and along material interfaces of general multi-domain structures under quasi-static conditions. Special attention is paid to particular…
A thermodynamically consistent phase-field model is introduced for simulating multicellular deformation, and aggregation under flow conditions. In particular, a Lennard-Jones type potential is proposed under the phase-field framework for…
A diffuse interface (phase field) model for an electrochemical system is developed. We describe the minimal set of components needed to model an electrochemical interface and present a variational derivation of the governing equations. With…
