In this paper, we introduce a novel rate-dependent regularized phase field approach to study dynamic fracture behaviors of polymethylmethacrylate materials, in which the rate coefficient is estimated through energy balance, i.e., dynamics release energy, cohesive energy and dissipated energy. The mode-I dynamics crack problem is considered, and its accuracy is validated with respect to experimental data [F. Zhou, Ph.D. dissertation (The University of Tokyo, Japan, 1996)] and other numerical methods, taking the same configuration, material property, crack location, and other relevant assumptions. The results shed light on the requirement and need for taking the rate-dependent coefficient in dynamic fracture analysis. publisher: American Institute of Physics date: 2017 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Doan, Hong Duc and Bui, Quoc Tinh and Do, Van Thom and Nguyen, Dinh Duc (2017) A rate-dependent hybrid phase field model for dynamic crack propagation.
