Multiscale Phase-field Model for Phase Transformation and Fracture

We address two problems in this thesis. First, a phase-field model for structural phase transformations in solids and second, a model for dynamic fracture. The existing approaches for both phase transformations and fracture can be grouped into two categories. Sharp-interface models, where interfaces...
