Felino: Extension of an open-source phase-field framework to geomaterial fracture
Abstract
This work presents an extended version of Felino (Chou & Darabi, 2025), an open-source phase-field fracture framework.Felino is implemented as an application built on top of the MOOSE finite-element framework (Permann et al., 2020), which uses libMesh as its underlying numerical library (Kirk et al., 2006).The extension introduces constitutive models for geomaterials, enabling simulations where tensile and compressive strengths differ.• Installation instruction: README or Felino official website • Official website of Felino: Felino official website • Benchmark example (this extension): Uniaxial Compression on Composite Material
Fields of Study & Subjects
