Abstract

This study presents a hybrid phase-field formulation combining isogeometric analysis with a local refinement multipatch algorithm (VUKIMS algorithm) to predict damage in functionally graded material structures. The power-law index of the Mori–Tanaka mixture rule will impact the critical force point. We have confirmed that this approach is an effective computational tool for functionally graded materials. As a result, the effective size of cubic NURBS elements is half of a length-scale parameter for balancing the achieved accuracy and computational cost in most examples.
