Popis: This is the peer reviewed version of the following article: Muixi, A.; Rodriguez-Ferran, A.; Fernandez, S. A hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin phase-field model for brittle fracture with adaptive refinement. "International journal for numerical methods in engineering", 30 Març 2020, vol. 121, núm. 6, p. 1147-1169, which has been published in final form at DOI: 10.1002/nme.6260. This article may be used for non-commercial purposes in accordance with Wiley Terms and Conditions for Self-Archiving. In this paper, we propose an adaptive refinement strategy for phase-field models of brittle fracture, which is based on a novel hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) formulation of the problem. The adaptive procedure considers standard elements and only one type of h-refined elements, dynamically located along the propagating cracks. Thanks to the weak imposition of interelement continuity in HDG methods, and in contrast with other existing adaptive approaches, hanging nodes or special transition elements are not needed, which simplifies the implementation. Various numerical experiments, including one branching test, show the accuracy, robustness, and applicability of the presented approach to quasistatic phase-field simulations.
