Mechanism-resolved phase-field fracture of composite shells with a certified admissible constitutive operator

Phase-field models of fracture in fibre-reinforced shells are usually formulated against a single closed-form stored energy, so that the stress, consistent tangent and plane-stress condensation are derived and verified for that expression alone. Here the constitutive law enters instead as a replaceable operator. The Gr...
