Robust numerical implementation of non-standard phase-field damage models for failure in solids

Recently several non-standard phase-field models different from the standard one for brittle fracture (Bourdin et al. 2000, 2008; Miehe et al. 2010a) have been proposed for the modeling of damage and fracture in solids. On the one hand, linear elastic behavior before the onset of damage and even cohesive cracking induced quasi-brittle failure can be considered by such non-standard phase-field models. On the other hand, they present great...
