Phase-field framework with constraints and its applications to ductile fracture in polycrystals and fatigue

Abstract Modeling of ductile fracture in polycrystalline structures is challenging, since it requires integrated modeling of cracks, crystal plasticity, and grains. Here we extend the typical phase-field framework to the situations with constraints on the order parameters, and formulate two types of...
