This paper presents a computational framework for quasi-static brittle fracture in three dimensional solids. The paper set outs the theoretical basis for determining the initiation and direction of propagating cracks based on the concept of…
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…
In a recent contribution, Kumar, Bourdin, Francfort, and Lopez-Pamies (J. Mech. Phys. Solids 142:104027, 2020) have introduced a comprehensive macroscopic phase-field theory for the nucleation and propagation of fracture in linear elastic…
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…
Brittle materials subjected to thermal shocks experience strong temperature gradients that in turn give rise to mechanical stresses that can be large enough to induce fracture. This work presents a complete model for phase-field fracture…
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…
A novel phase-field for ductile fracture model is presented. The model is developed within a consistent variational framework in the context of finite-deformation kinematics. A novel coalescence dissipation introduces a new coupling…
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…
In the phase-field modeling of brittle fracture, anisotropic constitutive assumptions for the degradation of stored elastic energy due to fracture are crucial to preventing cracking in compression and obtaining physically sound numerical…
Crack propagation is studied numerically using a continuum phase-field approach to mode III brittle fracture. The results shed light on the physics that controls the speed of accelerating cracks and the characteristic branching instability…
Crack initiation and propagation in elastic - perfectly plastic bodies is studied in a phase-field or variational gradient damage formulation. A rate-independent formulation that naturally couples elasticity, perfect plasticity and fracture…
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…
Classical phase-field theories of brittle fracture capture toughness-controlled crack growth but do not account for the material's strength surface, which governs fracture nucleation in the absence of cracks. The phase-field formulation of…
A phase field model of a crack front propagating in a three dimensional brittle material is used to study the fractographic patterns induced by the branching instability. The numerical results of this model give rise to crack surfaces that…
The problem of a crack impinging on an interface has been thoroughly investigated in the last three decades due to its important role in the mechanics and physics of solids. In this investigation, this problem is revisited in view of the…
The crack phase field model has been well established and validated for a variety of complex crack propagation patterns within a homogeneous medium under either tensile or shear loading. However, relatively less attention has been paid to…
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…
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…
This work presents a variational physics-informed deep learning framework for phase-field modelling of brittle crack propagation in anisotropic media. Previous Deep Ritz Method (DRM) approaches have focused on second-order, isotropic…
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…
