We formulate a modified phase-field model for cohesive interface failure in quasi-brittle
solids. Our model has two novel features:(i) a traction–separation-damage law for damage …

The phase-field modeling of fracture in multi-phase materials is conducted via an adaptive
isogeometric-meshfree approach. In this modeling, the crack and interface phase fields are …

The mechanical properties of metal matrix fiber-reinforced composites depend on many
aspects of their structure in a complicated way. In this paper, we propose a phase-field …

The goal of the current work is to explore direction-dependent damage initiation and
propagation within an arbitrary anisotropic solid. In particular, we aim at developing …
