Accurate and efficient evaluations of fatigue fracture is of great importance for the design and evaluation of viscoelastic materials in critical applications subject to cyclic load. In this study, an efficiency-enhanced phase-field model for viscoelastic fatigue fracture is proposed, allowing for f...
