A Unified Abaqus Implementation of the Phase Field Fracture Method Using Only a User Material Subroutine
We present a simple and robust implementation of the phase field fracture method in Abaqus. Unlike previous works, only a user material (UMAT) subroutine is used. This is achieved by exploiting the analogy between the phase field balance equation and heat transfer, which avoids the need for a user e...
