A Phase-Field Approach to Fracture and Fatigue Analysis: Bridging Theory and Simulation
M. Castillón, I. Romero, J. Segurado
This article presents a novel, robust and efficient framework for fatigue crack-propagation that combines the principles of Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM) with phase-fiel…
Effective toughness estimation by FFT based phase field fracture: application to composites and polycrystals
Pedro Aranda, Javier Segurado
An estimate of the effective toughness of heterogeneous materials is proposed based on the Phase Field Fracture model implemented in an FFT homogenization solver. The estimate is b…
Multiscale modeling of hydrogen diffusion in iron considering the effect of dislocations
Gonzalo Ãlvarez, Ãlvaro Ridruejo, Javier Segurado
Modeling hydrogen diffusion and its absorption in traps is a fundamental first step towards the understanding and prediction of hydrogen embrittlement. In this study, a multiscale…
A crack-length control technique for phase field fracture in FFT homogenization
Pedro Aranda, Javier Segurado
Modeling the propagation of cracks at the microscopic level is fundamental to understand the effect of the microstructure on the fracture process. Nevertheless, microscopic propaga…
