A novel phase field material point method is introduced for robust simulation of dynamic fracture in elastic media considering the most general case of anisotropic surface energy. Anisotropy is explicitly introduced through a properly defined crack d...

A novel phase field formulation implemented within a material point method setting is developed to address brittle fracture simulation in anisotropic media. The case of strong anisotropy in the crack surface energy is treated by considering an approp...
