Happy to share that our paper, “Nine circles of elastic brittle fracture: A series of challenge problems to assess fracture models,” is now published in Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering (CMAME) and can be accessed here.
Fracture in viscoelastic elastomers: A complete phase-field theory
Published:
After months of cloistering myself in the lab to work on a new phase-field theory of fracture in viscoelastic elastomers, I’m happy that the paper is finally published and can be accessed here.
Phase-Field Fracture Modeling with FEniCSx: An Open-Source Initiative
Published:
To make the phase-field approach to fracture mechanics more accessible and to get feedback on the computational aspects of my research in this area, I have developed three main repositories. These are designed to provide both educational resources and professional codebases for researchers and students working with FEniCSx.
