A phase field method to simulate crack nucleation and propagation in strongly heterogeneous materials from direct imaging of their microstructure (2015, unknown): “[57,15,58]) can deal with multiple crack fronts and crack nucleation, but imply the cracks to follow the elements, and suffer from convergence issues with refined meshes; finally (v), we mention a new method, called Thick Level-Set method (TLS) [7,16] in which a level-set function is employed to sep”
Revisiting the problem of a crack impinging on an interface: A modeling framework for the interaction between the phase field approach for brittle fracture and the interface cohesive zone model (2017, background): “(enhanced-FEM, E-FEM) [29–32]; (iii) adaptive insertion of cohesive interface elements during the computation or their prior embedding along all the finite element edges [33–39]; (iv) thick-level set approaches [40,41].”
A phase-field method for computational modeling of interfacial damage interacting with crack propagation in realistic microstructures obtained by microtomography (2016, unknown): “We also mention a related method, called Thick Level-Set method (TLS) [5,9] in which a level-set function is employed to separate the undamaged zone from the damaged one, and where the crack is a consequence of the damage front motion, allowing crack initiation.”
An open-source Abaqus implementation of the phase-field method to study the effect of plasticity on the instantaneous fracture toughness in dynamic crack propagation (2020, background): “As it was suggested by [24], when ∆ = 0 a small perturbation should be added to ε .”
On the choice of parameters in the phase field method for simulating crack initiation with experimental validation (2016, methodology): “Finally, we mention a new method, called Thick Level-Set method (TLS) [6,11] in which a level-set function is employed to separate the undamaged zone from the damaged one, and where the crack is a consequence of the damage front motion, allowing crack initiation.”
