This work presents an introduction to popular damage and fracture models along with the
major breakthroughs and the current state of the art. The theoretical and computational …

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

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 …

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 …

Damage and fracture can be induced not only by mechanical loading but also due to
chemical interactions within a solid. On one hand, species concentration may embrittle or …

In the context of computational modeling of fracture in chemo-mechanical environments,
physically-sound and strong coupling between different fields is essential. Furthermore, our …

The optimal design and durable utilization of lithium-ion batteries necessitates an objective
modeling approach to understand fracture and failure mechanisms. This paper presents a …

The optimal design, reliable manufacture and durable utilization of electromechanical
systems demand objective modeling of failure under coupled electric field and mechanical …

We combine welding process modelling with deformation–diffusion–fracture (embrittlement)
simulations to predict failures in hydrogen transport pipelines. The focus is on the structural …

The goal of the current work is to explore direction-dependent damage initiation and
propagation within an arbitrary anisotropic solid. In particular, we aim at develo** …
