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

Jonas Heinzmann, Francesco Vicentini, Pietro Carrara +1

Phase-field models of fracture are widely used for simulating crack nucleation and propagation, yet the role of the phase-field regularization in the dynamic regime is not fully un…

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…

A review on data-driven constitutive laws for solids

Jan Niklas Fuhg, Govinda Anantha Padmanabha, Nikolaos Bouklas +6

This review article highlights state-of-the-art data-driven techniques to discover, encode, surrogate, or emulate constitutive laws that describe the path-independent and path-depe…

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…

Data-driven fracture mechanics

Pietro Carrara, Laura De Lorenzis, Laurent Stainier +1

We present a new data-driven paradigm for variational brittle fracture mechanics. The fracture-related material modeling assumptions are removed and the governing equations stemmin…
