Crack propagation in quasi-brittle materials by fourth-order phase-field cohesive zone model
نویسندگان
چکیده
A phase-field approach becomes a more popular candidate in modeling crack propagation. It uses scalar auxiliary variable, namely to model discontinuity zone continuity domain. Furthermore, the fourth-order produces better convergence rate and accurate solutions than second-order one. However, it is available for propagation brittle material. This study addresses combining non-standard form with cohesive (CZM) predict quasi-brittle Cornelisson's softening law used capture high precision of prediction. The concrete material considered as For computation efficiency using NURBS-based finite elements, Virtual Uncommon-Knot-Inserted Master-Slave (VUKIMS) technique employed derive local refinement mesh. Numerical results are verified by published ones from literature. was found that peak load path independent element size insensitive length-scale number CZM. Our proposed shows most significant advantage compared standard terms computational cost solution accuracy.

A Fourth Order Formulation of DDM for Crack Analysis in Brittle Solids
A fourth order formulation of the displacement discontinuity method (DDM) is proposed for the crack analysis of brittle solids such as rocks, glasses, concretes and ceramics. A fourth order boundary collocation scheme is used for the discretization of each boundary element (the source element). In this approach, the source boundary element is divided into five sub-elements each recognized by a ...
متن کاملAnisotropic mesh adaptation for quasistatic crack propagation in brittle materials
The numerical simulation of quasistatic fracturing of brittle material, where no predefined crack path is imposed, is a challenging problem. In particular, we deal with the Francfort-Marigo model which requires the minimization of the well-known nonconvex and nonsmooth Mumford-Shah functional. To deal with a smoother problem which eases the minimization process of the energy, we consider the Γ-...
متن کاملAn Einstein Model of Brittle Crack Propagation
We propose a minimal nonlinear model of brittle crack propagation by considering only the motion of the crack-tip atom. The model captures many essential features of steady-state crack velocity and is in excellent quantitative agreement with many-body dynamical simulations. The model exhibits lattice-trapping. For loads just above this, the crack velocity rises sharply, reaching a limiting valu...
متن کاملFrom rate-dependent to quasi-static brittle crack propagation
On the base of many experimental results, e.g. [18], [19], [21], [12], the object of our analysis is a rate-dependent model for the propagation of a crack in brittle materials. Our goal is a mathematical study of the evolution equation in the geometries of the ’Single Edge Notch Tension’ (SENT) and of the ’Compact Tension’ (ASTM-CT). Besides existence and uniqueness, emphasis is placed on the r...
متن کاملCrack initiation in brittle materials
In this paper we study the crack initiation in a hyper-elastic body governed by a Griffith’s type energy. We prove that, during a load process through a time dependent boundary datum of the type t → tg(x) and in absence of strong singularities (this is the case of homogeneous isotropic materials) the crack initiation is brutal, i.e., a big crack appears after a positive time ti > 0. On the cont...
