A phase-field modeling approach of fracture propagation in poroelastic media
Shuwei Zhou, Xiaoying Zhuang, Timon Rabczuk
This paper proposes a phase field model for fracture in poroelastic media. The porous medium is modeled based on the classical Biot poroelasticity theory and the fracture behavior…

Phase field modelling of crack propagation, branching and coalescence in rocks
Shuwei Zhou, Xiaoying Zhuang, Hehua Zhu +1
We present a phase field model (PFM) for simulating complex crack patterns including crack propagation, branching and coalescence in rock. The phase field model is implemented in C…

Phase field modeling of quasi-static and dynamic crack propagation: COMSOL implementation and case studies
Shuwei Zhou, Timon Rabczuk, Xiaoying Zhuang
The phase-field model (PFM) represents the crack geometry in a diffusive way without introducing sharp discontinuities. This feature enables PFM to effectively model crack propagat…
