Study of the branching instability using a phase field model of inplane crack propagation
In this study, the phase field model of crack propagation is used to study the dynamic branching instability in the case of inplane loading in two dimensions. Simulation results are in good agreement with theoretical predictions and experimental findings. Namely, the critical speed at which the instability starts is about 0.48cs. They also show that a full 3D approach is needed to fully underst...
متن کاملDynamic crack propagation with a variational phase-field model: limiting speed, crack branching and velocity-toughening mechanisms
We address the simulation of dynamic crack propagation in brittle materials using a regularized phasefield description, which can also be interpreted as a damage-gradient model. Benefiting from a variational framework, the dynamic evolution of the mechanical fields are obtained as a succession of energy minimizations. We investigate the capacity of such a simple model to reproduce specific expe...
متن کاملPhase-field modeling of crack propagation in piezoelectric and ferroelectric materials with different electromechanical crack conditions
We present a family of phase field models for fracture in piezoelectric and ferroelectric materials. These models couple a variational formulation of brittle fracture with, respectively, (1) the linear theory of piezoelectricity, and (2) a Ginzburg Landau model of the ferroelectric microstructure to address the full complexity of the fracture phenomenon in these materials. In these models, both...
متن کاملBranching mechanism of intergranular crack propagation in three dimensions.
We investigate the process of slow intergranular crack propagation by the finite element method model and show that branching is induced by partial arresting of a crack front owing to the geometrical randomness of grain boundaries. A possible scenario for the branching instability of crack propagation in a disordered continuous medium is also discussed.
متن کاملSeismic Wave-Field Propagation Modelling using the Euler Method
Wave-field extrapolation based on solving the wave equation is an important step in seismic modeling and needs a high level of accuracy. It has been implemented through a various numerical methods such as finite difference method as the most popular and conventional one. Moreover, the main drawbacks of the finite difference method are the low level of accuracy and the numerical dispersion for l...
