Phase-field approaches to fracture and fatigue in solids : developments in mode-dependence, non-locality, and thermo-mechanical effects / Ayyappan U ; Supervised by Mohammad Masiur Rahaman. - Bhubaneswar : IIT Bhubaneswar, 2026. - xxxvi, 226 p. : illustrations ; 30 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
This doctoral research develops advanced phase-field models for fracture and fatigue in solids, addressing important limitations of conventional formulations. The work focuses on mode-dependent fracture, artificial nonlocal effects, phase-field length-scale sensitivity, fatigue failure, and thermo-mechanical coupling. The researcher's published studies demonstrate extensions to mixed-mode fracture, length-scale-insensitive fatigue, functionally graded materials, and size-dependent micropolar solids. The researcher is Ayyappan Unnikrishna Pillai
