A graded interphase enhanced phase-field approach for modeling fracture in polymer composites

The superiority of nanosized filler particles in improving the elastic and fracture behavior of polymers, in comparison to microsized inclusions, has been substantiated by several experimental observations. Accurate modeling of crack propagation in such heterogeneous materials, however, involves res...
