Crack propagation

This is a finite element code based in deal.II to simulate crack propagation in elastic and porous media.

Features:

  • phase field approach for the crack location
  • primal-dual active set method for the irreversibility constraint
  • novel adaptive mesh refinement technique

This project was originally developed for the two papers mentioned below, but has been extended considerably since then. Please cite these papers if you make use of our work. Thank you!

The original code versions are available as separate branches in this repository:

  1. https://github.com/tjhei/cracks/tree/paper-2015 for

How to run

You need to install deal.II (see http://www.dealii.org) with external dependencies p4est and Trilinos. Then configure with:

  cmake -D DEAL_II_DIR=/your/dealii-installation/ .

Compile with:

  make

and finally run with:

  mpirun -n 2 ./cracks parameters_sneddon_2d.prm

Notes

The code is published under GPL v2 or newer.
