Phase-Field Modeling Fracture in Anisotropic Materials
The phase-field method is a widely used technique to simulate crack initiation, propagation, and coalescence without the need to trace the fracture surface. In the phase-field theory, the energy to create a fracture surface per unit area is equal to the critical energy release rate. Therefore, the precise definition of the crack-driving part is the key to simulate crack propagation. In this work, we propose a modified phase-field model to capture the complex crack propagation, in which the elastic strain energy is decomposed into volumetric-deviatoric energy parts. Because of the volumetric-deviatoric energy split, we introduce a novel form of the crack-driving energy to simulate mixed-mode fracture. Furthermore, a new degradation function is proposed to simulate crack processes in brittle materials with different degradation rates. The proposed model is implemented by a staggered algorithm and to validate the performance of the phase-field modelling, and several numerical examples are constructed under plane strain condition. All the presented examples demonstrate the capability of the proposed approach in solving problems of brittle fracture propagation.
