gcrack – Solver for Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics
gcrack is a finite element solver for linear elastic fracture mechanics, developed during my postdoc at ENSTA (IMSIA). It is built on fenicsx and features:
- Incremental crack propagation with indirect load control, ensuring each load step occurs precisely at the propagation threshold.
- Support for arbitrary anisotropic fracture properties, i.e., \(G_c(\varphi)\).
- Basic support for heterogeneous media.
- A modular architecture for easy extension.
fragma – Phase-Field Fracture Solver
fragma is a phase-field fracture solver, also developed during my postdoc at ENSTA (IMSIA) and based on fenicsx. Key features include:
- Indirect load control via path-following methods.
- Crack propagation in anisotropic media (work in progress).

Ph.D. Thesis template
In collaboration with Alexandre Daby-Seesaram, we made our Ph.D. thesis template openly available on GitHub: https://github.com/floiseau/PhD_Thesis_Template. If you encounter any issue, do not hesitate to report it to us using the GitHub issue tracker.
Open-source dataset
During my Ph.D. thesis, I generated and made public a dataset of effective elasticity tensor obtained from discrete element simulations. This dataset is hosted in the RechercheDataGouv repository (https://doi.org/10.57745/LYHM4W) and can be freely used for research.
