Phase field modelling of freezing-induced cracking
Fragile materials such as concrete or rocks, under natural conditions, are subject to freeze/thaw cycles, which can induce damage over time and, ultimately, propagate macro-cracks. In this work, a phase-field approach is used to investigates the impact of a single frost cycle on crack initiation and propagation. Based on an experimental configuration, a parametric study is conducted to investigates the impact of the phase-field formulation on the crack morphology. It is shown, especially, that Amor’s split scheme is not usable in the studied configuration, while Miehe and Wu’s one provide relevant results.
