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 p...
