A Phase Field Model for Rate-Dependent Ductile Fracture

In this study, a phase field viscoplastic model is proposed to model the influence of the loading rate on the ductile fracture, as one of the main causes of metallic alloys’ failure. To this aim, the effects of the phase field are incorporated in the Peric’s viscoplastic model; the model can efficie...
