In this work, we consider fracture propagation in nearly incompressible and (fully) incompressible materials using a phase-field formulation. We use a mixed form of the elasticity equation to overcome volume locking effects and develop a…

In earlier papers (Leblond et.al., 2011, 2019), we presented linear stability analyses of the coplanar propagation of a crack loaded in mixed-mode I+III, based on a "double'' propagation criterion combining Griffith (1920)'s energetic…

A continuum model of crack propagation is presented and discussed. We obtain steady state solutions with a self-consistently selected propagation velocity and shape of the crack, provided that elastodynamic and viscoelastic effects are…

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 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.…

We propose inverse problems of crack propagation using the phase-field models. First, we study the crack propagation in an inhomogeneous media in which fracture toughness varies in space. Using the two phase-field models based on different…

Standard phase-field fracture methods are rooted in brittle fracture theory and therefore do not inherently prescribe a material strength for crack nucleation, while also struggling to capture cohesive fracture behaviour. Recent…

We address in this review unified analysis of phase-field models for cohesive fracture. Aiming to regularize the Barenblatt (1959) cohesive zone model, all the discussed models are distinguished by three characteristic functions, i.e., the…

A field theory is presented for predicting damage and fracture in quasi-brittle materials. The approach taken here is new and blends a non-local constitutive law with a two-point phase field. In this formulation, the material displacement…

The fracture toughness for a mode I/II crack propagating in a ductile material has been subject to numerous investigations. However, the influence of the material hardening law has received very limited attention, with isotropic hardening…

In traditional phase-field modeling of multiphase materials, a significant challenge arises from the non-local nature of fracture energy regularization, where interfacial toughness is inherently coupled with the properties of the…

Variational phase-field methods have been shown powerful for the modeling of complex crack propagation without a priori knowledge of the crack path or ad hoc criteria. However, phase-field models suffer from their energy functional being…

Recently, the phase field method has been increasingly used for brittle fractures in soft materials like polymers, elastomers, and biological tissues. When considering finite deformations to account for the highly deformable nature of soft…

Mixed mode (I+III) loading induces segmented crack front \'echelon structures connected by steps. We study this instability in a highly deformable, strain-hardening material. We find that \'echelons develop beyond a finite, size-independent…

This paper presents a formulation for brittle fracture in 3D elastic solids within the context of configurational mechanics. The local form of the first law of thermodynamics provides a condition for equilibrium of the crack front. The…

The evolution of a crack front under mixed mode loading (I+III) is studied using a phase field model in 3 dimensions with no stress boundary conditions. As previously observed experimentally in gels, there is a relaxation toward a geometry…

Statistical models are essential to get a better understanding of the role of disorder in brittle disordered solids. Fiber bundle models play a special role as a paradigm, with a very good balance of simplicity and non-trivial effects. We…

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…

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…

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…
