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…
Models for multiphysics problems often contain strong nonlinearities. Including fracture contact mechanics introduces discontinuities at the transition between open and closed or sliding and sticking fractures. The resulting system of…
This work is devoted to the analysis of convergence of an alternate (staggered) minimization algorithm in the framework of phase field models of fracture. The energy of the system is characterized by a nonlinear splitting of tensile and…
This paper considers the robust phase retrieval problem, which can be cast as a nonsmooth and nonconvex optimization problem. We propose a new inexact proximal linear algorithm with the subproblem being solved inexactly. Our contributions…
The rigorous convergence analysis of adaptive finite element methods for regularized variational models of quasi-static brittle fracture in strain-limiting elastic solids is presented. This work introduces two novel adaptive mesh refinement…
We consider descent methods for solving non-finite valued nonsmooth convex-composite optimization problems that employ Gauss-Newton subproblems to determine the iteration update. Specifically, we establish the global convergence properties…
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…
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…
This paper extends the SQP-approach of the well-known bundle-Newton method for nonsmooth unconstrained minimization to the nonlinearly constrained case. Instead of using a penalty function or a filter or an improvement function to deal with…
This paper presents and investigates an inexact proximal gradient method for solving composite convex optimization problems characterized by an objective function composed of a sum of a full-domain differentiable convex function and a…
Golden-section search and bisection search are the two main principled algorithms for 1d minimization of quasiconvex (unimodal) functions. The first one only uses function queries, while the second one also uses gradient queries. Other…
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…
A novel trust region method for solving linearly constrained nonlinear programs is presented. The proposed technique is amenable to a distributed implementation, as its salient ingredient is an alternating projected gradient sweep in place…
An inexact Newton type method for numerical minimization of convex piecewise quadratic functions is considered and its convergence is analyzed. Earlier, a similar method was successfully applied to optimizaton problems arising in numerical…
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)…
We explore the potential of the deep Ritz method to learn complex fracture processes such as quasistatic crack nucleation, propagation, kinking, branching, and coalescence within the unified variational framework of phase-field modeling of…
In this paper we accomplish the development of the fast rank-adaptive solver for tensor-structured symmetric positive definite linear systems in higher dimensions. In [arXiv:1301.6068] this problem is approached by alternating minimization…
In this work, we study the robust phase retrieval problem where the task is to recover an unknown signal $\theta^* \in \mathbb{R}^d$ in the presence of potentially arbitrarily corrupted magnitude-only linear measurements. We propose an…
Crack nucleation is crucial in many industrial applications. The phase field method for fracture transforms the crack nucleation problem into a minimization problem of the sum of the elastic potential energy and the crack surface energy.…
A block decomposition method is proposed for minimizing a (possibly non-convex) continuously differentiable function subject to one linear equality constraint and simple bounds on the variables. The proposed method iteratively selects a…
