Fracture of Rubber

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello!

I would like to ask if is possible to simulate the fracture and the crack growth of a Rubber. I was thinking of using the Hyperelastic Material Model togheter with the Phase Field Method for crack growth. I'm sure that this is available for the linear elastic material model, but what about the hyperelastic one? Is it available for such a model? If is not possible to use Phase Field with Hyperelasticity do you have any suggestion?
