Phase-field: Central cracked specimen#
This section presents six simulations, each considering a quarter of the geometry due to the double symmetry of the central crack tension test specimen. The simulations analyze two different length scales and various initial crack lengths imposed in the mesh. These simulations correspond to the cases shown in the accompanying table. The first column refers to the initial crack length imposed in the mesh through the boundary conditions, and the second and third columns refer to the different length scale parameters considered.
