In the framework of solid mechanics, the task of deriving material parameters from
experimental data has recently re-emerged with the progress in full-field measurement …

Aortic dissection progresses mainly via delamination of the medial layer of the wall.
Notwithstanding the complexity of this process, insight has been gleaned by studying in vitro …

We investigate variational phase-field formulations of anisotropic brittle fracture to model
zigzag crack patterns in cubic materials. Our objective is twofold:(i) to analytically derive and …

Phase-field fracture (PFF) modeling is a popular approach to model and simulate fracture
processes in solids. Accurate material parameters and boundary conditions are of utmost …

With the rise of data-driven engineering methods, such as machine learning, a
comprehensive understanding of the underlying data fed into these algorithms is required …

The damage mechanics challenge (DMC) represents a critical step in predicting the damage
evolution and failure in rock-like materials displaying brittle/quasi-brittle characteristics. The …

In this work, space-time formulations and Galerkin discretizations for phase-field fracture
optimal control problems are considered. The fracture irreversibility constraint is formulated …

The purpose of this work is the development of space-time discretization schemes for phase-
field optimal control problems. Specifically in the optimal control minimization problem, a …

Modelling fracture using numerical techniques based on discrete modelling is complex as it
requires tracking of progressing discontinuities in field parameters. Phase-field method for …
