The proposed research topic is related to the numerical simulation of damage in brittle materials. The idea is to investigate a new algorithm based on a combination of the level set method and of the topological gradient method. The latter one is used to nucleate damaged zones in the material while the former one propagates the interface between the healthy and damaged zones. The damage model will be inspired from the work of Francfort and Marigo, Stable damage evolution in a brittle continuous medium, Eur. J. Mech. A/Solids 12, pp.149-189 (1993). The coupling of a level set algorithm with topological gradient is based on the work of Allaire, de Gournay, Jouve and Toader, Structural optimization using topological and shape sensitivity via a level set method, Control and Cybernetics 34, pp.59-80 (2005).
