Hi I tried to code a basic phase field model for fracture in octave.
It doesn't seem to converge to the correct load. It fails later.
Also mesh refinement did not improve the results.
The link to the GIT is here

Any idea where I am wrong?
Ping me. Thanks in advance.
There is an immediate opening for a post-doctoral scholar in the Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute (http://hemi.jhu.edu) at Johns Hopkins University, working with Prof. K.T. Ramesh (ramesh [at] jhu.edu (ramesh[at]jhu[dot]edu)) and Prof. Todd Hufnagel (hufnagel [at] jhu.edu (hufnagel[at]jhu[dot]edu)).

I am looking for a PhD candidate who will be sponsered by my Institute to work in the area of fracture mechanics.
ABAQUS experience would be an advantage and concepts in fracture mechanics and finite elements will be desirable.
If you are interested to work in this area at Indian Institute of Technology Ropar in Metallurgical and Materials Engg. department, please dont hesitate to contact me at abhishek.tiwari [at] iitrpr.ac.in

The morphology of MAX phase composites is examined here. Specifically, crack branching is examined in Al - Ti2AlC composites showing the role of MAX phase distribution on the fracture performance of such materials. Ductile alloy phases serve to deflect cracks in the hard, yet tough, MAX phase.
