We present a new phase-field formulation for the formation and propagation of a compaction
band in high-porosity rocks. Novel features of the proposed formulation include (a) the …

Adiabatic shear band (ASB) is a significant failure mechanism observed in metals and alloys
under impact loading. Though ASB formation has been widely assumed to be a one …

This paper combines energy decomposition and an extended gradient damage (EGD)
model to develop an anisotropic fracture framework with decoupling of tensile and shear …

The formation of void damage and spalling failure in ductile metallic materials under strong
impact is a well-established phenomenon. In aerospace and defense technology …

The challenge of material surface damage and spalling, caused by high-frequency, high-
pressure jets owing to cavitation, remains a substantial concern. To better understand the …

This paper presents an adaptive multi-patch isogeometric phase-field model based on
Nitsche's method for simulating dynamic brittle fracture. Complex structures are accurately …

Dynamic shear experiments and relevant numerical simulations are crucial for
comprehensively understanding shear fracture mechanisms under diverse strain rates. In …

Fracture of the high-capacity electrode materials during electrochemical cycling is still an
overwhelming limitation restricting the further development of lithium-ion batteries. Here, we …

A geometrically nonlinear theory for field dislocation thermomechanics based entirely on
measurable state variables is proposed. Instead of starting from an ordering-dependent …

The adiabatic shear band (ASB) criterion is crucial for assessing the shear failure resistance
of metals and alloys under dynamic loading. While the critical shear strain obtained from …
