A coupled approach to predict cone-cracks in spherical indentation tests with smooth or rough indenters
Maria Rosaria Marulli, Jacopo Bonari, Josè Reinoso +1
Indentation tests are largely exploited in experiments to characterize the mechanical and fracture properties of the materials from the resulting crack patterns. This work proposes…
Computational modelling of hydrogen assisted fracture in polycrystalline materials
A. Valverde-González, E. Martínez-Pañeda, A. Quintanas-Corominas +2
We present a combined phase field and cohesive zone formulation for hydrogen embrittlement that resolves the polycrystalline microstructure of metals. Unlike previous studies, our…
Crack arrest through branching at curved weak interfaces: an experimental and numerical study
M. T. Aranda, I. G. Garcia, J. Reinoso +2
The phenomenon of arrest of an unstably-growing crack due to a curved weak interface is investigated. The weak interface can produce the deviation of the crack path, trapping the c…
Numerical study of interface cracking in composite structures using a novel geometrically nonlinear Linear Elastic Brittle Interface Model: mixed-mode fracture conditions and application to structured interfaces
L. García-Guzmán, J. Reinoso, A. Valverde +2
Interface cracking is one of the most prominent failure modes in fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. Recent trends in high-tech applications of FRP composites exploit the li…
Revisiting the problem of a crack impinging on an interface: a modeling framework for the interaction between the phase field approach for brittle fracture and the interface cohesive zone model
Marco Paggi, Jose Reinoso
The problem of a crack impinging on an interface has been thoroughly investigated in the last three decades due to its important role in the mechanics and physics of solids. In thi…
A consistent interface element formulation for geometrical and material nonlinearities
J. Reinoso, M. Paggi
Decohesion undergoing large displacements takes place in a wide range of applications. In these problems, interface element formulations for large displacements should be used to a…
