Micro Abstract:
A phase field model of fracture that accounts for anisotropic material behavior and crack propagation is presented within the small and large deformation context. Different kinds of material anisotropy are incorporated by (i) enhancing the crack surface density function by appropriate structural tensors stemming from a rigorous application of the theory of tensor invariants and (ii) by a modification of energetic and stress-like fracture criteria.
