In this work, a critical comparison between three different numerical approaches for the
computational modelling of quasi-brittle structural failure is presented. Among the many …

Phase-field method, as a powerful and popular approach to predict the mesoscale
microstructure evolution in various materials science, provides a bridge from atomic-scale …

Electrode particle cracking is one of the main phenomena driving battery capacity
degradation. Recent phase field fracture studies have investigated particle cracking …

We present a new theoretical and numerical framework for modelling mechanically-assisted
corrosion in elastic–plastic solids. Both pitting and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) can be …

We present a generalised phase field-based formulation for predicting fatigue crack growth
in metals. The theoretical framework aims at covering a wide range of material behaviour …

We present a phase field-based electro-chemo-mechanical formulation for modelling
mechanics-enhanced corrosion and hydrogen-assisted cracking in elastic–plastic solids. A …

We present a gradient-based theoretical framework for predicting hydrogen assisted fracture
in elastic-plastic solids. The novelty of the model lies in the combination of:(i) stress-assisted …

Thermally induced cracking occurs in many engineering problems such as drying shrinkage
cracking of concrete, thermal shock induced fracture, micro cracking of two-phase composite …

We present a generalised phase field formulation for predicting high-cycle fatigue in metals.
Different fatigue degradation functions are presented, together with new damage …

We present a new theoretical and computational framework for modelling electro-chemo-
mechanical fracture. The model combines a phase field description of fracture with a fully …
