A phase-field brittle fracture mechanics code written in Nutils is coupled to a Poisson equation in FEniCS or DOLFIN. The FEniCS code is a place-holder for a proper corrosion model. The purpose of this code is to showcase how preCICE could be used to volume-couple between an electro-chemistry model (here the FEniCS code) and a fracture mechanics model. Currently, meaningless data is exchanged.
The original fracture mechanics code was developed by Clemens Verhoosel. The model is documented in this publication:

The coupling prototype was developed by Benjamin Uekermann.
