The unique mechanical, electrical, thermal, chemical and optical properties of carbon based
nanomaterials (CBNs) like: Fullerenes, Graphene, Carbon nanotubes, and their derivatives …

Material behavior and microstructure geometries at small scales strongly influence the
physical behavior at higher scales. For example, defects like cracks and dislocations evolve …

The phase-field model (PFM) represents the crack geometry in a diffusive way without
introducing sharp discontinuities. This feature enables PFM to effectively model crack …

In this paper, we develop a dual‐horizon peridynamics (DH‐PD) formulation that naturally
includes varying horizon sizes and completely solves the 'ghost force'issue. Therefore, the …

We present a phase field model (PFM) for simulating complex crack patterns including crack
propagation, branching and coalescence in rock. The phase field model is implemented in …

We predict the macroscopic tensile strength and fracture toughness of fully exfoliated nano
silicate clay epoxy composites accounting for the interphase behavior between the …

Being able to seamlessly deal with complex crack patterns like branching, merging and
even fragmentation, phase-field models (PFMs) are promising in the computational …

We propose a computational framework using surrogate models through five steps, which
can systematically and comprehensively address a number of related stochastic multi-scale …

In this paper, a mixed two-scale numerical manifold computational homogenization model is
presented for dynamic analysis and wave propagation of the discontinuous heterogeneous …

In this manuscript a concurrent coupling scheme is presented to model three dimensional
cracks and dislocations at the atomistic level. The scheme couples molecular dynamics to …
