Title: Brittle fracture phase-field modeling of a short-rod specimen

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1225864· OSTI ID:1225864

Predictive simulation capabilities for modeling fracture evolution provide further insight into quantities of interest in comparison to experimental testing. Based on the variational approach to fracture, the advent of phase-field modeling achieves the goal to robustly model fracture for brittle materials and captures complex crack topologies in three dimensions.
