A comparative assessment of different adaptive spatial refinement strategies in phase-field fracture models for brittle fracture
For the smeared approximation of a discrete crack, phase-field fracture simulations of brittle materials require suitable finite element meshes in regions where crack propagation is expected to get an accurate resolution of the phase-field function. The straightforward option is to pre-refine the me...
