In this paper, we present a phase-field method combined with an explicit cycle jump scheme
for simulating low-cycle fatigue fracture in brittle materials in both two and three dimensions …

Phase field models can effectively capture complicated crack evolution characteristics such
as propagation, bifurcating, intersecting and merging. However, the simulation of three …

This work introduces an advanced numerical model, based on a cohesive zone approach
and the moving mesh technique, for simulating fracture propagation in quasi-brittle …

An adaptive phase-field method is developed and applied to model fracture propagation in
orthotropic composites. The proposed approach extends the work of Muixí et al.(2020) to …

To date, there is no comprehensive approach available that can explicitly model the
complete transient waveforms of acoustic emissions (AE) induced by fracture processes in …

Thermally induced fracture is a common phenomenon for concrete and rock-like materials,
which presents a significant challenge to numerical modelling. In this work, a thermo …

For most rock-like materials, including concrete, their failure mechanisms under
compression have proven to be rather complex and of great research interest. In this work, a …

Phase field models have become an effective tool for predicting complex crack
configurations including initiation, propagation, branching, intersecting and merging …

Fatigue fracture is one of the main causes of structural failure under cyclic loading, so
accurate evaluation of fatigue fracture is very important for the design of structures subjected …

The phase field modeling of viscoelastic fracture can effectively predict complex crack
behavior and offer valuable insights for analyzing time-dependent failure mechanisms …
