Motivated by the successful implementation of the phase-field method (PFM) to simulate
complicated fracture patterns at moderate computational costs in solid materials, many …

Computational modeling of the initiation and propagation of complex fracture is central to the
discipline of engineering fracture mechanics. This review focuses on two promising …

Despite the popularity of phase-field models for fracture in purely mechanical problems, their
application to the modeling of fracture in multi-physics problems is much less reported. This …

As a diffused fracture theory, phase-field models can seamlessly simulate complex crack
patterns such as extending, branching, and merging. Despite the success of phase-field …

This study develops a hydro-damage-mechanical fully coupled numerical method capable
of modelling complex fluid-driven transient dynamic crack propagation in quasi-brittle …

This paper develops a phase-field approach to model hydro-thermally induced crack
propagation in thermo-poroelastic media. Both thermal conduction and convection, and the …

Hydraulic fracturing of tight subsurface formations has mainly been conducted using water.
Waterless hydraulic fracturing by CO2 may have advantages over fracturing by water. The …

Acid fracturing is a technique to enhance productivity in carbonate formations. In this work, a
thermal–hydraulic–mechanical–chemical (THMC) coupling model for acid fracture …

Though a number of formulations have been proposed for phase-field models for hydraulic
fracture in a fully saturated porous medium, the definition of the degraded poroelastic strain …

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 …
