Convergence Check Phase-Field Scheme for Modelling of Brittle and Ductile Fractures

The paper proposes a novel staggered phase-field framework for modelling brittle and ductile fractures in monotonic and cyclic loading regimes. The algorithm consists of two mesh layers (displacement and phase field) and a single special-purpose, user-defined finite element, which controls global co...
