Fracture initiation in multi-phase materials: a systematic three-dimensional approach using a FFT-based solver
T. W. J. de Geus, M. Cottura, B. Appolaire +2
This paper studies a two-phase material with a microstructure composed of a hard brittle reinforcement phase embedded in a soft ductile matrix. It addresses the full three-dimensio…
