How to start a phase field fracture analysis?

[rh201]

Hello all,

I'm new to MOOSE and want to do phase field fracture analysis, but I have no idea how to start and what should I do for now. I was wondering if there are any simple examples or tutorials to shed light on me. Any advice or comments will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
RH

If you are looking for help specific to the phase field module, the main documentation page for that module might be a good place to start: https://mooseframework.inl.gov/modules/phase_field/index.html

If you want to work through a generic MOOSE tutorial and see other "getting started" resources, then I would go here: https://mooseframework.inl.gov/getting_started/examples_and_tutorials/index.html

Thanks @cticenhour .

I've learned the basic parts of MOOSE already, including the page you linked,and now I want to proceed to phase field fracture, wondering if there are any related examples.

Excellent - just wanted to make sure you had seen these since you said you were new to the framework! I'll let someone with experience in phase field continue the conversation. Perhaps @laagesen can chime in or recommend other resources?

Probably @jiangwen84 is the best person to highlight some PF fracture examples

We have a few regression tests located at moose/modules/combined/test/tests/phase_field_fracture/

The document of phase-field fracture is at https://mooseframework.inl.gov/source/materials/ComputeLinearElasticPFFractureStress.html
