# pfm-cracks: A parallel-adaptive framework for phase-field fracture propagation
This is a finite element code based on the finite element library deal.II to
simulate crack propagation in elastic and porous media.
Features:
- phase field approach for the crack location
- support for 2d and 3d computations
- primal-dual active set method for the irreversibility constraint
- novel adaptive mesh refinement technique
This project was originally developed for the papers mentioned below, but has
been extended considerably since then. Please cite these papers if you make
use of our work. Thank you!

# How to run
You need to install deal.II (see http://www.dealii.org) with external
dependencies p4est and Trilinos. Then configure with:
```
cmake -D DEAL_II_DIR=/your/dealii-installation/ .
```
Compile with:
```
make
```
and finally run with:
```
mpirun -n 2 ./cracks parameters_sneddon_2d.prm
```
