Numerical modeling of quasi-brittle materials using a phase-field regularized cohesive zone model with optimal softening law

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Xunqian Xu et al. from the School of Mechanical Engineering, Nantong University, Nantong, China have published the research work: Numerical Modeling of Quasi-Brittle Materials Using a Phase-Field Regularized Cohesive Zone Model with Optimal Softening Law, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: The authors propose an approach combining optimal softening laws and a phasefield regularized cohesive zone model (PF-CZM) for modeling the fracture and damage properties of quasi-brittle materials accurately. The authors demonstrate that the PF-CZM can naturally predict and reproduce the critical notch offset and fracture transition process of three . . .
