An FFT-based crystal plasticity phase-field model for micromechanical fatigue cracking based on the stored energy density

Sergio Lucarini, Fionn P. E. Dunne, Emilio Martínez-Pañeda

A novel FFT-based phase-field fracture framework for modelling fatigue crack initiation and propagation at the microscale is presented. A damage driving force is defined based on t…
