Micro Abstract:
The numerical simulation of fracture in brittle material remains a challenging task, both with respect to the suitable approximation technique as well as to the appropriate calibration experiment. The phase-field method – a promising approach under ongoing development – is applied to the simulation of the complex behavior of a concrete specimen in a split-Hopkinson-pressure bar experiment focusing on the capabilities of the method to obtain realistic crack initiation, evolution and arrest.
