Please check out our recent paper published in the Engineering Fracture Mechanics, entitled: Fracture load prediction of components weakened by symmetrical and asymmetrical rounded-tip V-notches using the phase field method. This work was a collaboration and Alireza Ashkpour was leading our effort. Post-doc scientists, including Dr. Hsiao Wei Lee, Dr. Li Meng, and Dr. Jamal Bidadi were additional collaborators.
