Adaptive mesh refinement and cycle jumps for phase-field fatigue fracture modeling

“…It should be noted that all numerical strategies mentioned in this article were implemented on the finite element software Cast3M [11]. There have been multiple usages of this software to study fracture mechanics such as in Helfer et al [25], Lu et al [38], and Riad et al [53] where a phase-field model for brittle fracture was implemented. Also, in Gibert et al [17] an adaptive mesh refinement strategy was applied in an eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM).…”
