Despite the popularity of phase-field models for fracture in purely mechanical problems, their
application to the modeling of fracture in multi-physics problems is much less reported. This …

This work presents an introduction to popular damage and fracture models along with the
major breakthroughs and the current state of the art. The theoretical and computational …

A crystal plasticity coupled twinning phase field (CP-TPF) model was developed to
investigate the plastic deformation of magnesium (Mg) single crystal. Three types of slip …

The mechanical behavior and constitutive equations of isotropic non-dense metals, such as
metal foams, porous metals, and lattice metals, have been extensively studied, but the …

The classical phase field model has wide applications for brittle materials, but nonlinearity
and inelasticity are found in its stress–strain curve. The degradation function in the classical …

Accurate prediction of fracture propagation is of great importance in both academy and
industry. In this dissertation, numerical modeling of brittle and ductile fracture using cohesive …
