MS04: Phase field approach to fracture: from materials to structures
Location: EI 2
Chair: Christian Hellmich
The phase field approach is a mathematical technique used to simulate evolving discontinuities in continua. It is based on an additional partial differential equation which is coupled with the standard field equations of the fluid/solid continuum, greatly enhancing the tracking of the field transitions from the computational point of view. The proposal of such an approach by Francfort and Marigo to simulate evolving displacement discontinuities in solids, which is a key problem of fracture mechanics, and the recovery of the Griffith theory in the limit of Gamma-convergence, has opened the way for a significant development of the method to make it a quantitative tool suitable for engineering technical applications. The aim of this mini-symposium is to bring together experts of theoretical, computational and experimental fracture mechanics to discuss limitations, challenges and perspectives of the phase field approach to fracture in relation to key open issues listed below. ...
