Abstract

In the present contribution we focus on a phase-field approach to ductile fracture applied to large deformation contact problems. Phase-field approaches to fracture allow for an efficient numerical investigation of complex three-dimensional fracture problems, as they arise in contact and impact situations. To account for large deformations the underlying formulation is based on a multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient into an elastic and plastic part. Moreover, we make use of a fourth-order crack regularization combined with gradient plasticity. Eventually, a demonstrative example shows the capability of the proposed framework.
