A Phase-Field Approach to Continuum Damage Mechanics

This paper develops a phase-field approach to describe the damage within continuum mechanics. The body is associated with the standard stresses and body forces of macroscopic character. As is the case in many contexts, the phase field is a scalar variable whose time rate is governed by a constitutiv...
