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.

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.

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.

An improved stable XFEM (Is-XFEM) with a novel enrichment function for the computational modeling of cohesive cracks

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed an improved stable XFEM (Is-XFEM) with a novel enrichment function to reconcile the incompatibility between accuracy of the solution and conditioning of the system matrix.

A phase-field regularized cohesive zone model for hydrogen assisted cracking

TL;DR: In this paper, a phase-field regularized cohesive zone model (PF-CZM) for hydrogen assisted cracking is proposed, in which two distinct hydrogen enhanced decohesion mechanisms are dealt with by introducing various implicitly defined (via the crack phase field) hydrogen-dependent softening laws.

A Model for the Mechanics of Jointed Rock

TL;DR: In this article, a linkage type element is developed for adding rock joint stiffness to the structural stiffness matrix describing the behavior of a system of rock blocks and joints and a new classification of joints is introduced, based on the application of the joint element to finite element analysis of structures in jointed rock.
