We present a simple and robust implementation of the phase field fracture method in
Abaqus. Unlike previous works, only a user material (UMAT) subroutine is used. This is …

In this study ring bending tests on plates are performed to analyze the tensile strength of tin
and air sides of float glass. Fracture stress values computed from experimental data …

Modeling of gradual fracture of individual layers of laminated glass produced by successive
low-velocity impacts is presented. This subject is first examined experimentally focusing on …

In engineering fracture problems, cracks tend to interact with each other rather than exist
singly. In recent years, the phenomenon of multi-cracking has received attention from both …

One of today's most-used glass products is a composite made of at least two glass panels
connected with a soft polymeric interlayer—laminated glass. The mechanical properties of …

Laminated glass is extensively used in automotive windshields, making it crucial to have a
comprehensive understanding of its fracture mechanism to ensure driver and pedestrian …

Laminated glass achieves improved post-critical response through the composite effect of
stiff glass layers and more compliant polymer films, manifested in progressive layer failure …

The prediction of crack patterns is one of the main tasks in the field of fracture mechanics in
order to prevent the total damage of various materials, particularly Methyl Methacrylate …

A unified framework for an impromptu switching between the coupled (ie, the monolithic), the
staggered, and the uncoupled solution strategies for the phase-field based computations of …

This paper investigates the challenges and potentials of phase-field modelling in simulating
glass fracture. The phase-field method, a variational approach to fracture modelling, treats …
