Phase-field method, as a powerful and popular approach to predict the mesoscale
microstructure evolution in various materials science, provides a bridge from atomic-scale …

In this work, we study the failure behavior of 3D-printed polymer composites undergoing
large deformations. Experimental results are compared to numerical simulations using the …

Phase-field models have been a topic of much research in recent years. Results have
shown that these models are able to produce complex crack patterns in both two and three …

Particle breakage has a great influence on stress-strain behaviors of rockfill materials. A new
relative breakage was proposed for rockfill materials. A critical state line incorporating …

The failure behavior of geological materials depends heavily on confining pressure and
strain rate. Under a relatively low confining pressure, these materials tend to fail by brittle …

We present a new theoretical and numerical phase field-based formulation for predicting
hydrogen-assisted fatigue. The coupled deformation-diffusion-damage model presented …

We present a new mechanistic, phase field-based formulation for predicting hydrogen
embrittlement. The multi-physics model developed incorporates, for the first time, a Taylor …

We present a novel phase field method for modeling hydraulic fracture propagation in
poroelastic media. In this approach, a new phase field evolution equation is derived to …

Failure of quasi-brittle materials is governed by crack formation and propagation which can
be characterized by two phases:(i) diffuse material degradation process with initial crack …

Fracture of viscoelastic solids plays an important role in many applications but it is not yet
well understood. In addition to the time and rate dependent response of viscoelastic …
