Know where it cracks — before your parts do.

We are simulation specialists focused on one question: how, where and when structures fail. Phase-field fracture tells you how parts fail; the material point method handles the coupled multi-physics around them. We turn both into design decisions you can act on.

Methods

Phase-field fracture, in depth

Every Zeros Fracture analysis uses the phase-field method. One consistent framework covers bulk cracking, delamination and fatigue, so results compare across your whole design.

01

Crack nucleation & propagation

Cracks start from energy minimisation and grow along the path the physics chooses — no initial flaw, no predefined path, no remeshing.

02

Crack branching

Branching, merging and multiple interacting cracks emerge naturally, without tracking rules or special treatment.

03

Delamination

Interface phase-field models capture debonding between layers and its competition with cracking through the bulk.

04

Fatigue

Fatigue degradation under cyclic loading, linking load history to crack growth and lifetime.

05

Thermo-mechanical coupling

Phase-field damage driven by CTE mismatch, process-induced residual stress and temperature cycling.

06

Large deformation

Phase-field fracture at finite strains, for soft, ductile and highly deformable materials.

Industries

Where reliability can't be guessed

Semiconductor & electronics packaging Die cracking, die-attach and mold-compound delamination, solder fatigue. Automotive & e-mobility Power modules, bonded joints and lightweight structures under vibration and heat. Aerospace & composites Ply delamination, adhesive joints and damage tolerance assessments. Energy & batteries Electrode and coating cracking, ceramic components, thermal shock. Medical devices Implants, coatings and bonded assemblies where failure is not an option. Advanced materials Sintered, porous and functionally graded materials, modelled at the microstructure.
How we work

From failure question to design answer

  1. 1

    Scope

    We review geometry, loads, materials and observed failures, and agree on the questions the model must answer.

  2. 2

    Calibrate

    Phase-field parameters — toughness, strength, interface properties — are identified from your test data or literature, with stated assumptions.

  3. 3

    Simulate & validate

    Mesh-converged FE analyses, checked against experiments wherever they exist.

  4. 4

    Recommend

    A clear report with design changes ranked by impact — plus the models, if you want them.
