Abstract The thermo-elastic fracture problems of functionally graded materials (FGMs) are thoroughly investigated based on a phase field model. In this model, the material constants and fracture toughness vary with the spatial coordinates, the thermal conductivity and stiffness constants in the damaged regions are degraded by the phase-field variable, and the crack evolution is driven by the variation of elastic energy induced by the thermo-mechanical loading. Therefore, the temperature, mechanical and damage fields are coupled with each other. The finite element discretization of the governing equations and the numerical implementation details are provided. The validation of… More >
