Phase-field modeling of fracture

TL;DR: This chapter provides an extensive overview of the literature on the so-called phase-field fracture/damage models (PFMs), particularly, for quasi-static and dynamic fracture of brittle and quasi-brittle materials, from the points of view of a computational mechanician.

Cracking elements: A self-propagating Strong Discontinuity embedded Approach for quasi-brittle fracture

TL;DR: In this article, a self-propagating Strong Discontinuity Embedded Approach (SDA) for quasi-brittle fracture is presented, which is based on the Statically Optimal Symmetric formulation (SOS) of the SDA using the 8-node quadrilateral element.

A geometrically regularized gradient-damage model with energetic equivalence

TL;DR: In this paper, a geometrically regularized gradient-damage model with energetic equivalence for cracking evolution is proposed for modeling localized failure in solids, which is applied to several benchmark tests of concrete under mode I and mixed-mode failure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cracking elements method for dynamic brittle fracture

TL;DR: The cracking elements (CE) method is a self-propagating strong discontinuity embedded approach with the statically optimal symmetric (SDA-SOS) formulation for simulating the fracture of quasi-brittle materials.

Length scale and mesh bias sensitivity of phase-field models for brittle and cohesive fracture

TL;DR: Three popular PFMs for brittle and cohesive fracture in the literature are selected, implemented within a single code and used to study the sensitivity to the length scale parameter and the mesh alignment of the solutions to various brittle and quasi-brittle fracture problems with/without singularities and notches.

A finite element method for crack growth without remeshing

TL;DR: In this article, a displacement-based approximation is enriched near a crack by incorporating both discontinuous elds and the near tip asymptotic elds through a partition of unity method.

Analysis of crack formation and crack growth in concrete by means of fracture mechanics and finite elements

TL;DR: In this article, fracture mechanics is introduced into finite element analysis by means of a model where stresses are assumed to act across a crack as long as it is narrowly opened, which may be regarded as a way of expressing the energy adsorption in the energy balance approach.
