I did another trick: Increasing G_c has the same effect to achieve purely elastic behavior. So, I chose a high enough G_c value and it works!
I obtain the same results and the duh values grow correctly.

Excellent. This is indeed also possible. Very good idea.



Still I cannot understand fully why when cracking is initiated, there is no increase of the strains except the strain in the loaded direction. Maybe you are right, I try to compare a bigger example, but I already compared two phase-field codes. I have my own version with staggered scheme and it was not identical to your results after crack initiation. As mentioned before, in the elastic regime everything is identical and fine.

I made the experience that there can be large differences between staggered, quasi-monolithic (Heister/Wick) and
fully monolithic (I have some recent studies on this).

Moreover, sometimes it makes a difference how you impose the irreversibility condition: via strain history or
penalization.


The only thing I changed a bit is the integration from quadratic to linear, but I am not sure, if seeting quadrature_formula(2) alone is enough for linear shape functions. You also had face_quadrature_formula or this Lobatto integration. Would you be so kind and explain what lines I have to change in order to obtain linear shape functions and not quadratic like set in the original version?

You need to change the number in FE_Q( ....) for another degree. But in our code,
it should be already linear if I remember well.

How many changes and the code would help a lot.
Just to be sure I did it correct.

Thank you.

Best,
