Abstract

This paper presents an adaptive finite element model for oxidation-driven fracture that uses space-time elements to track continuous crack-tip motion. The model incorporates viscoplastic material behavior, stress-enhanced diffusive transport of reactive chemical species and a cohesive interface fracture criterion. We discuss the weak formulation of the coupled system, including stabilized discontinuous Galerkin formulations for the chemical diffusion and the material evolution equations.
