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…

Phase-field modeling of brittle fracture in heterogeneous bars

Francesco Vicentini, Pietro Carrara, Laura De Lorenzis

We investigate phase-field modeling of brittle fracture in a one-dimensional bar featuring a continuous variation of elastic and/or fracture properties along its axis. Our main goa…
