An assessment of phase field fracture: crack initiation and growth [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical,
Physical and Engineering Sciences 379, 20210021 (2021), 2021 The phase field paradigm, in combination with a suitable variational structure, has opened a path for using Griffith's energy balance to predict the fracture of solids. These so-called phase field fracture methods have gained significant popularity over the past decade, and are now part of commercial finite element packages and engineering fitness-for ...

Radius-ulna shaft fracture with distal radioulnar joint instability in a case of ipsilateral malunited colles fracture: a case report [PDF]
, 2021 Malunion of the distal end of radius is a known consequence of the conservative management. The functional impairment depends on the severity of the deformity and it can be associated with distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) instability.

Parametric Investigation on Different Bone Densities to avoid Thermal Necrosis during Bone Drilling Process [PDF]
, 2023 Bone drilling is a universal surgical procedure commonly used for internal fracture fixation, implant placement, or reconstructive surgery in orthopedics and dentistry. The increased temperature during such treatment increases the risk of thermal penetration of the bone, which may delay healing or compromise the fixation's integrity.

A novel degradable PCL/PLLA strapping band for internal fixation of fracture
Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Medicine, 2023 Early fracture fixation is the critical factor in fracture healing. Common internal fracture implants are made of metallic materials, which often affects the imaging quality of CT and MRI.

Time-lapse reconstruction of the fracture front from diffracted waves arrivals in laboratory hydraulic fracture experiments [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International (2020), 2020 4D acoustic imaging via an array of 32 sources / 32 receivers is used to monitor hydraulic fracture propagating in a 250~mm cubic specimen under a true-triaxial state of stress. We present a method based on the arrivals of diffracted waves to reconstruct the fracture geometry (and fluid front when distinct from the fracture front). Using Bayesian model

Numerical simulation of hydraulic fracturing: a hybrid FEM based algorithm [PDF]
International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in
Geomechanics, 2022, 2021 In this paper a problem of numerical simulation of hydraulic fractures is considered. An efficient algorithm of solution is proposed for the plain strain model of hydraulic fracturing. The algorithm utilizes a FEM based subroutine to compute deformation of the fractured material.
