New mesh-free deep energy method models brittle fracture

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a novel mesh-free method for phase-field modeling of brittle fracture, utilizing a single neural network to represent displacement and phase fields. This approach trains the network by directly minimizing the incremental energy, incorporating multiresolution feature encoding via C1 quadratic B-spline grids. The method demonstrates critical pairings that allow for accurate crack propagation prediction and classification of crack states, outperforming existing deep Ritz baselines on benchmark datasets.

    A mesh-free multiresolution deep energy method with phase-field modeling of brittle fracture

    arXiv:2608.24126v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Phase-field modeling of brittle fracture removes the need to track cracks explicitly by recasting their evolution as the minimization of an energy functional. In return it requires a discretization dense enough to resolve a localiza…
