Micro Abstract:
Phase field models for fracture allow shaping the reliability of engineering components in the early stage of the product development process. Epoxy-based molding compounds protect electronic control units from harsh environments. Once this protection fractures, the electronic system fails. Based on a fracture mechanical characterization of the mold material in the full temperature range, computations are performed demonstrating the predictive quality of the phase field model of fracture.
