Phase-field material point method for brittle fracture

The Material Point Method for the analysis of deformable bodies is revisited and originally upgraded to simulate crack propagation in brittle media. In this setting, phase field modelling is introduced to resolve the crack path geometry. Following a particle in cell approach, the coupled continuum/...
