On phase-field regularization in dynamic fracture with brittle and cohesive formulations

Jonas Heinzmann, Francesco Vicentini, Pietro Carrara +1

The paper compares three phase‑field fracture models—brittle with stiffness degradation, brittle with stiffness and density degradation, and a cohesive formulation extended to dyna…

Iterative convergence in phase-field brittle fracture computations: exact line search is all you need

Jonas Heinzmann, Francesco Vicentini, Pietro Carrara +1

Variational phase-field models of brittle fracture pose a local constrained minimization problem of a non-convex energy functional. In the discrete setting, the problem is most oft…

Variational phase-field modeling of cohesive fracture with flexibly tunable strength surface

Francesco Vicentini, Jonas Heinzmann, Pietro Carrara +1

Variational phase-field models of brittle fracture are powerful tools for studying Griffith-type crack propagation in complex scenarios. However, as approximations of Griffith's th…

Calibration and Validation of a Phase-Field Model of Brittle Fracture within the Damage Mechanics Challenge

Jonas Heinzmann, Pietro Carrara, Chenyi Luo +6

In the context of the Damage Mechanics Challenge, we adopt a phase-field model of brittle fracture to blindly predict the behavior up to failure of a notched three-point-bending sp…

An adaptive acceleration scheme for phase-field fatigue computations

Jonas Heinzmann, Pietro Carrara, Marreddy Ambati +2

Phase-field models of fatigue are capable of reproducing the main phenomenology of fatigue behavior. However, phase-field computations in the high-cycle fatigue regime are prohibit…
