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.

Phase-field modeling of fluid-driven dynamic cracking in porous media

TL;DR: In this article, a phase field model for fluid-driven dynamic crack propagation in poroelastic media is proposed and verified through three classical benchmark problems which are compared to analytical solutions for dynamic consolidation and pressure distribution in a single crack and in a specimen with two sets of joints.

On the BFGS monolithic algorithm for the unified phase field damage theory

TL;DR: This work proposes in this work, for the first time, to use the Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno (BFGS) algorithm to solve in a monolithic manner the system of coupled governing equations, rather than the standard Newton one which is notoriously poor for problems involving non-convex energy functional.

Phase field fracture modelling using quasi-Newton methods and a new adaptive step scheme

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the potential of quasi-Newton methods in facilitating convergence of monolithic solution schemes for phase field fracture modelling, and propose a new adaptive time increment scheme to further reduce the computational cost while allowing to accurately resolve sudden changes in material behavior.

The Phenomena of Rupture and Flow in Solids

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of surface scratches on the mechanical strength of solids, and some general conclusions were reached which appear to have a direct bearing on the problem of rupture, from an engineering standpoint, and also on the larger question of the nature of intermolecular cohesion.

Revisiting brittle fracture as an energy minimization problem

TL;DR: In this paper, a variational model of quasistatic crack evolution is proposed, which frees itself of the usual constraints of that theory : a preexisting crack and a well-defined crack path.

A phase field model for rate-independent crack propagation: Robust algorithmic implementation based on operator splits

TL;DR: In this paper, a variational framework for rate-independent diffusive fracture was proposed based on the introduction of a local history field, which contains a maximum reference energy obtained in the deformation history, which may be considered as a measure for the maximum tensile strain obtained in history.
