Orthogonal decomposition of anisotropic constitutive models for the phase field approach to fracture
Vahid Ziaei-Rad, Mostafa Mollaali, Thomas Nagel +2
We propose a decomposition of constitutive relations into crack-driving and persistent portions, specifically designed for materials with anisotropic/orthotropic behavior in the ph…
An asynchronous variational integrator for the phase field approach to dynamic fracture
Zongwu Niu, Vahid Ziaei-Rad, Zongyuan Wu +1
The phase field approach is widely used to model fracture behaviors due to the absence of the need to track the crack topology and the ability to predict crack nucleation and branc…
A micromechanics-informed phase field model for brittle fracture accounting for the unilateral constraint
Yangyuanchen Liu, Cheng Cheng, Vahid Ziaei-Rad +1
We propose a new direction-dependent model for the unilateral constraint involved in the phase field approach to fracture and also in the continuous damage mechanics models. The co…
