Objectives:
This course is devoted to numerical modeling of phase-field fracture problems and more
general numerical modeling of coupled variational inequality systems. Besides a bit recapitulation of continuum mechanics,
modern nonlinear and linear algorithms are introduced and analyzed. -
Topics:
VI (variational inequality) and propagating interfaces
Relation to obstacle problems
Basic from continuum mechanics
Phase-field fracture systems
Treating crack irreversiblity: Penalization and primal-dual active set methods
Nonlinear solution schemes
Numerical analysis for a simplified problem
