Periodic homogenization in scalar Hencky plasticity
Gilles A. Francfort, Alessandro Giacomini
This paper investigates the periodic homogenization of a two-phase elasto-plastic material in the framework of -convergence. It establishes the link between the homogenized func…
Nucleation and propagation of brittle fracture as a constrained energy minimization problem
Oscar Lopez-Pamies, Farhad Kamarei, Gilles A. Francfort +1
This paper presents a macroscopic, or continuum, theory aimed at describing when, where, and why cracks nucleate and propagate in nominally elastic brittle materials under monotoni…
Classical variational phase-field models cannot predict fracture nucleation
Oscar Lopez-Pamies, John E. Dolbow, Gilles A. Francfort +1
Notwithstanding the evidence against them, classical variational phase-field models continue to be used and pursued in an attempt to describe fracture nucleation in elastic brittle…
