Highlights
The two key ingredients in the simulations of fractures are suitable physical models and computational methods
The rapid advances in computational methods for fracture, especially in the past two decades, have enhanced such power to the level where the prediction of complex fractures can be realized with multifields and models at different length scales being considered at the same time
This special issue is, as we hoped to share with readers, a showcase on the state-of-theart in the modelling of fractures
Summary
The two key ingredients in the simulations of fractures are suitable physical models and computational methods. Cracks are the progenitors of material failure. The modelling of fracture has always been a ubiquitous and foundational topic across engineering and sciences.
