Griffith’s theory of fracture laid the foundation for energy-based crack propagation. The Finite Element Method (FEM) remains the gold standard for accuracy. However, standard FEM suffers from mesh dependency. The Phase-Field Method (PFM) has gained popularity for its ability to handle complex crack topologies (branching and merging) without explicit tracking, but it requires solving partial differential equations on a fine grid, making it unsuitable for real-time applications.
