In this paper, a novel coupling explicit phase-field material point method with the convected
particle domain interpolation (ePF-CCPDI) is proposed to predict the large deformation …

The thermal-induced failure mechanism of the bearing outer-ring guiding-surface is
investigated within this work when subjected to cyclic impact and sliding actions. The paper …

This research aims to extend the isothermal continuum mechanical modeling framework of
hydraulic fracturing in porous materials to account for the non-isothermal processes …

This work provides a framework for predicting fracture of catalyst coated membrane (CCM)
due to coupled electro-chemo-mechanical degradation processes in proton exchange …

A probabilistic approach to phase-field brittle and ductile fracture with random material and

In this study, we aim at investigating the coupling between poroelasticity (including the fluid
flow) and gradient damage phenomena in saturated porous media. To this end, we first …

This work presents a rigorous mathematical formulation for topology optimization of a macro
structure undergoing ductile failure. The prediction of ductile solid materials which exhibit …

Due to the uncertain fracture of the die-casting aluminum component (shock tower), X-ray
tomography (XRT) coupled with digital image correlation (DIC) was implemented to …
