Monolithic Solution

We present a simple and robust implementation of the phase field fracture method in Abaqus. Unlike previous works, only a user material (UMAT) subroutine is used. This is achieved by exploiting the analogy between the phase field balance equation and heat transfer, which avoids the need for a user element mesh and enables taking advantage of Abaqus’ in-built features. A unified theoretical framework and its implementation are presented, suitable for any arbitrary choice of crack density function and fracture driving force. Specifically, the framework is exemplified with the so-called AT1, AT2 and phase field-cohesive zone models (PF-CZM). Both staggered and monolithic solution schemes are handled. We demonstrate the potential and robustness of this new implementation by addressing several paradigmatic 2D and 3D boundary value problems. The numerical examples show how the current implementation can be used to reproduce numerical and experimental results from the literature, and efficiently capture advanced features such as complex crack trajectories, crack nucleation from arbitrary sites and contact problems. The code developed is made freely available.

AbstractThis study presents the formulation, the numerical solution, and the validation of a theoretical framework based on the concept of variable-order mechanics and capable of modeling dynamic fracture in brittle and quasi-brittle solids. More specifically, the reformulation of the elastodynamic problem via variable and fractional-order operators enables a unique and extremely powerful approach to model nucleation and propagation of cracks in solids under dynamic loading. The resulting dynamic fracture formulation is fully evolutionary, hence enabling the analysis of complex crack patterns without requiring any a priori assumption on the damage location and the growth path, and without using any algorithm to numerically track the evolving crack surface. The evolutionary nature of the variable-order formalism also prevents the need for additional partial differential equations to predict the evolution of the damage field, hence suggesting a conspicuous reduction in complexity and computational cost. Remarkably, the variable-order formulation is naturally capable of capturing extremely detailed features characteristic of dynamic crack propagation such as crack surface roughening as well as single and multiple branching. The accuracy and robustness of the proposed variable-order formulation are validated by comparing the results of direct numerical simulations with experimental data of typical benchmark problems available in the literature.

Abstract This paper examines the effect of complex crack geometry on the J-resistance curves obtained by strain-based ductile tearing simulation of complex cracked tension (CC(T)) specimens. The damage model is determined by analyzing the results of a smooth bar tensile test and a C(T) specimen toughness test on an SA508 Gr.1a low-alloy steel at 316 ?. The validity of the damage model and simulation method is checked by comparing the fracture test data for two CC(T) specimen tests. To investigate the effect of the complex crack geometry on the crack growth profiles and J-resistance curves, two geometric parameters (namely, the through-wall crack length and the surface crack depth) are systematically varied. It is found that the J-resistance curves for the CC(T) specimens with various through-wall crack lengths and surface crack depths are consistently lower than the corresponding 1T C(T) J-resistance curves. The effect of the through-wall crack length upon the J-resistance curve is found to be less significant than that of the surface crack depth. Moreover, the J-resistance curve decreases continuously with increasing surface crack depth.
