Crack Propagation in Brittle Materials

2024

From little or nothing, to experimental verification of a complex fracture experiment. We solve the following (difficult) problem:

Evolution of Damage (irreversible)

Let $y=(\alpha, u)$ be an admissible state of a brittle system where $\alpha: \Omega \mapsto [0, 1]$ is a smooth damage field which identifies cracks (where $\alpha =1$) and $u$ is a displacement field. Provided a material model (an energy) $E_\ell$, given a time horizon $T$, let's find a map $t \in [0, T]\mapsto y_t$ such that: damage is non-decreasing and the observed state $y_t$ is energy-minimal, among admissible variations.

Feature branch workflow

For each new feature you wish to implement, create a branch named {yourname}-{feature}, as in andres-meshes.

https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/gitlab-basics/feature_branch_workflow.html

  • Create your feature branch:git checkout -b username-feature
  • To push your branch: git push -u origin feature_branch_name
  • Create a pull request on the main branch for merging. Somebody should approve the pull-request. -

Weekly updates (merge from main)

git checkout main
git pull
git checkout yourname-branch
git merge main

Asymmetrically, feature-work is rebased.

To run the code (on Docker)

First, run the container, attaching an interactive session and sharing data space (the current dir) between the host and the container (the syntax is origin:target).

On a Mac:

docker run --rm -ti -v "$(pwd)":/home/numerix -w /home/numerix kumiori3/numerix:latest

On a windows box:

docker run --rm -ti -v "C:/...":/home/numerix" -w /home/numerix kumiori3\numerix:latest

This code was initially conceived as a support for the teaching course MEC647, (Complex) Crack Propagation in Brittle Materials, delivered to the students of the international master programme, joint between École Polytechnique and ENSTA-Paristech throughout 2020-2022. Hence the cryptic repository name.
