A simple and robust Abaqus implementation of the phase field fracture method

The phase field fracture method is attracting significant interest. Phase field approaches have enabled predicting - on arbitrary geometries and dimensions - complex fracture phenomena such as crack branching, coalescence, deflection and nucleation. In this work, we present a simple and robust imple...
