A phase-field approach to pneumatic fracture with anisotropic crack resistance

Carola Bilgen, Kerstin Weinberg

International Journal of Fracture· Volume 232· Issue 2

Abstract

Abstract Phase-field models of fracture allow the prediction of crack propagation and crack patterns. In this contribution, externally driven fracture processes in linear and finite elasticity are investigated. Different approaches to consider pneumatic pressure and materials with non-isotropic crack resistance are studied, combined, and examined in detail. The versatility of the proposed models is proven by a series of numerical simulations in two and three dimensions.
