2D and 3D Abaqus implementation of a robust staggered phase-field solution for modeling brittle fracture

In order to model brittle fracture, we have implemented a two and three dimensional phase-field method in the commercial finite element code Abaqus/Standard. The method is based on the rate-independent variational principle of diffuse fracture. The phase-field is a scalar variable between 0 and 1 wh...
