The single edge notch fracture test for viscoelastic elastomers

Farhad Kamarei, Fabio Sozio, Oscar Lopez-Pamies

Making use of the Griffith criticality condition recently introduced by Shrimali and Lopez-Pamies (Extreme Mechanics Letters 58: 101944, 2023), this work presents a comprehensive a…

Validating Griffith fracture propagation in the phase-field approach to fracture: The case of Mode III by means of the trousers test

F. Kamarei, E. Breedlove, O. Lopez-Pamies

At present, there is an abundance of results showing that the phase-field approach to fracture in elastic brittle materials -- when properly accounting for material strength -- des…
