The first equation is the for a degraded material. The second is a reaction‑diffusion equation governing the evolution of the crack field. Irreversibility is enforced by a history field (H(\mathbfx) = \max_t\le t\psi^+(\boldsymbol\varepsilon(\mathbfx,t))) so that the tensile energy term never decreases: \tag6 ] The first equation is the for a degraded material

Elements with (\eta_e > \eta_\texttol) are refined (bisected) and coarsening is applied where (\eta_e < 0.1,\eta_\texttol). This strategy concentrates degrees of freedom only where the crack evolves, keeping the global problem size modest. A monolithic coupling (solving (\mathbfu) and (\phi) simultaneously) is possible but computationally expensive. Instead, we adopt the staggered scheme (Miehe et al., 2010) that is unconditionally stable for quasi‑static loading:
