Phase-Field Material Point Method for dynamic brittle fracture with isotropic and anisotropic surface energy (2019)
Journal Article
Kakouris, E. G., & Triantafyllou, S. P. (2019). Phase-Field Material Point Method for dynamic brittle fracture with isotropic and anisotropic surface energy. Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 357, Article 112503. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cma.2019.06.014

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...

© 2019 by the authors. Three alternative approaches, namely the extended/generalized finite element method (XFEM/GFEM), the scaled boundary finite element method (SBFEM) and phase field methods, are surveyed and compared in the context of linear elas...
