Phase-field fracture modeling in porous materials with idealized and realistic morphologies

Key Points

• Fracture behavior varies significantly between idealized and realistic morphologies of porous materials, affecting their overall performance.
• Numerical simulations demonstrate altered stress distribution patterns for different morphologies, highlighting critical differences.
• The analysis incorporates both simplified and complex geometrical representations, providing a comprehensive understanding of fracture mechanics.
• Understanding these fracture patterns may enable improved designs of durable porous materials for various engineering applications.
