Comparative Analysis of Phase-Field and Intrinsic Cohesive Zone Models for Fracture Simulations in Multiphase Materials with Interfaces: Investigation of the Influence of the Microstructure on the Fracture Properties

This study evaluates four widely used fracture simulation methods, comparing their computational expenses and implementation complexities within the finite element (FE) framework when employed on heterogeneous solids. Fracture methods considered encompass the intrinsic cohesive zone model (CZM) usin...
