Strength-degradation phase-field regularization of cohesive fracture: the antiplane case
Blaise Bourdin, Corrado Maurini
Phase-field approaches to fracture, initially designed as regularization of the Griffith model of brittle fracture, are now commonly viewed as gradient-damage models whose regulari…
A variational approach to fracture incorporating any convex strength criterion
Blaise Bourdin, Jean-Jacques Marigo, Corrado Maurini +1
We propose a variational phase-field model of fracture capable of accounting for arbitrary closed convex strength domains. Unlike traditional models based on Ambrosio and Tortorell…
Multiparameter actuation of a neutrally-stable shell: a flexible gear-less motor
Walid Hamouche, Corrado Maurini, Stefano Vidoli +1
We have designed and tested experimentally a morphing structure consisting of a neutrally stable thin cylindrical shell driven by a multiparameter piezoelectric actuation. The shel…
Linear and nonlinear solvers for variational phase-field models of brittle fracture
Patrick E. Farrell, Corrado Maurini
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…
Automated Estimation of Collagen Fibre Dispersion in the Dermis and its Contribution to the Anisotropic Behaviour of Skin
Aisling Ní Annaidh, Karine Bruyère, Michel Destrade +4
Collagen fibres play an important role in the mechanical behaviour of many soft tissues. Modelling of such tissues now often incorporates a collagen fibre distribution. However, th…
