Phase-field modeling of fatigue coupled to cyclic plasticity in an energetic formulation
Jacinto Ulloa, Jef Wambacq, Roberto Alessi +2
This paper presents a modeling framework to describe the driving mechanisms of cyclic failure in brittle and ductile materials, including cyclic plasticity and fatigue crack growth…

A novel framework to model the fatigue behavior of brittle materials based on a variational phase-field approach
P. Carrara, M. Ambati, R. Alessi +1
A novel variational framework to model the fatigue behavior of brittle materials based on a phase-field approach to fracture is presented. The standard regularized free energy func…

Fatigue effects in elastic materials with variational damage models: A vanishing viscosity approach
Roberto Alessi, Vito Crismale, Gianluca Orlando
We study the existence of quasistatic evolutions for a family of gradient damage models which take into account fatigue, that is the process of weakening in a material due to repea…
