Phase field fracture models have demonstrated great capacities in simulating crack
nucleation, propagation, branching, and joining in brittle and ductile materials subjected to …

This paper presents a general thermodynamically consistent non-isothermal phase field
framework to model effects of damage, fracture and fatigue evolutions in elasto-plastic …

This work applies concepts of artificial neural networks to identify the parameters of a
mathematical model based on phase fields for damage and fracture. Damage mechanics is …

This paper proposes a thermodynamically consistent phase-field damage model for
viscoelastic materials following the strategy developed by Boldrini et al.(Methods Appl Mech …

Materials accumulate energy around voids and defects under external loading, causing the
formation of microcracks. With increasing or repeated loads, those microcracks eventually …

Failure in brittle materials led by the evolution of micro-to macro-cracks under repetitive or
increasing loads is often catastrophic with no significant plasticity to advert the onset of …

This work applies concepts of artificial neural networks to identify the parameters of a
mathematical model based on phase fields for damage and fracture. Damage mechanics is …

We present the application of simultaneous diagonalization and minimum energy (SDME)
high-order finite element modal bases for simulation of transient non-linear elastodynamic …

A phase-field model for crack initiation and propagation in polycrystalline materials under
thermomechanical loadings is proposed. Therefore, the thermomechanical coupling …

A consistent model that properly captures the behavior of materials when submitted to loads
and at the same time considers the influence of damage growth in the material properties is …
