A phase field method of crack nucleation investigation for experimental validation by using the improved degradation functions and strain orthogonal decompositions

In recent decades, the phase field method has been widely used in order to model and simulate the damage in various materials and/ or structures. In this simulation method, the regularization length is an important parameter to describe the width of the smeared crack and reflect the crack as a sharp...
