The modeling of mixed-mode fracture within the phase field (PF) framework poses a challenge due to the difficulties in incorporating a reasonable mixed-mode cohesive law. This work proposes an innovative phase-field formulation to characterize mixed-mode cohesive fracture behaviors in fiber-reinforc...
