Revisiting the hydromechanical formulation of a micromechanics-based phase-field model for poro-elastoplastic media
Hanzhang Li, Tao You, Keita Yoshioka +3
Even for tension-dominated fracture propagation, porous materials may deform plastically adjacent to the propagating fracture. As is common for porous materials, existing phase-fie…

A dual--continuum phase-field model for hydraulic fracturing: Viscosity-dominated regime and fluid lag
Tao You, Keita Yoshioka
The phase-field model regularizes sharp fractures into a diffuse representation, blurring the boundary between the fracture and the intact material. This blurring makes it difficul…
