Brain tissue is not only one of the most important but also the most complex and compliant
tissue in the human body. While long underestimated, increasing evidence confirms that …

Continuum porous media theories, extended by a diffusive phase-field modeling (PFM)
approach, introduce a convenient and efficient tool to the simulation of hydraulic fracture in …

Brain tissue is one of the most complex and softest tissues in the human body. Due to its
ultrasoft and biphasic nature, it is difficult to control the deformation state during …

This research work presents an experimental and numerical study of the coupled thermo-
hydro-mechanical (THM) processes that occur during soil freezing. With focusing on the …

In this work, phase-field modeling of hydraulic fractures in porous media is extended
towards a Global–Local approach. Therein, the failure behavior is solely analyzed in a …

This research work introduces a novel phase-field thermo-hydro-mechanical (P-THM)
modeling approach that allows to deeply understand and model the freezing–thawing cyclic …

Proceeding from the governing equations describing a saturated poroelastic material with
intrinsically incompressible solid and fluid constituents, we compare the monolithic and …

The biomechanical characterization of human brain tissue and the development of
appropriate mechanical models is crucial to provide realistic computational predictions that …

This research aims to extend the isothermal continuum mechanical modeling framework of
hydraulic fracturing in porous materials to account for the non-isothermal processes …

The underlying study introduces a numerical modeling framework and a comparison with
experimental data of hydraulic fracture in dense low-permeable brittle rocks. This is based …
