An FFT-based crystal plasticity phase-field model for micromechanical fatigue cracking based on the stored energy density

A novel FFT-based phase-field fracture framework for modelling fatigue crack initiation and propagation at the microscale is presented. A damage driving force is defined based on the stored energy and dislocation density, relating phase-field fracture with microstructural fatigue damage. The formula...
