Most of quasi-crystals are brittle at room temperature due to their specific cluster structures. Phase-field fracture models have demonstrated a powerful ability to predict brittle crack evolution. This paper develops a phase-field framework for modeling macroscopic brittle fracture in quasi-crystal...
