large deformations. Experimental results are compared to numerical simulations using the …

The phase field fracture method is attracting significant interest. Phase field approaches
have enabled predicting-on arbitrary geometries and dimensions-complex fracture …

Thermally induced cracking occurs in many engineering problems such as drying shrinkage
cracking of concrete, thermal shock induced fracture, micro cracking of two-phase composite …

Hyperelastic materials are frequently observed in the natural world and engineering
applications such as rubbers and animal soft tissues. Modeling large deformation and …

Fracture of composites consisting of isotropic matrix and anisotropic fibers is an essential

Pre-existing flaws in highly stretchable elastomers trigger fracture under large deformations.
For multifunctional materials, fracture mechanics may be influenced by additional physical …

In this work, an adaptive phase-field method is proposed for modeling fracture of
hyperelastic materials at large deformations. The adaptive mesh refinement is facilitated by …

We develop a fully data-driven model of anisotropic finite viscoelasticity using neural
ordinary differential equations as building blocks. We replace the Helmholtz free energy …

Phase-field damage models are able to describe crack nucleation as well as crack
propagation and coalescence without additional technicalities, because cracks are treated …

Elastomers are typically considered incompressible or slightly compressible. However, we
present simple tension and bulk tests showing that, under large deformations, these …
