The first equation describes the displacement evolution, and the second is a smoothed indicator variable, describing the crack position. We propose an iterative scheme, the so-called $L$-scheme, with a dynamic update of the stabilization parameters during the iterations. Our algorithmic improvements are substantiated with two numerical tests. The dynamic adjustments of the stabilization parameters lead to a significant reduction of iteration numbers in comparison to constant stabilization values.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-12-15T19:36:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "phase-field model", "weighted stabilizations", "phase-field fracture propagation model", "stabilization parameters", "coupled partial differential equations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
