However, the incompressibility constraint poses a significant challenge in modeling such materials, further complicating efforts to accurately describe or reproduce crack propagation through numerical simulations. Mixed element formulations, for example, the so-called Q1P0 approach, are extensively employed to mitigate locking issues associated with incompressibility at finite deformations. In this study, the Q1P0 approach is formulated via the Simo–Taylor–Pister (STP) three-field formulation, which emanates from the <span>Hu-Washizu</span> variational principle, resulting in an equivalent single-field displacement formulation. This framework is subsequently coupled with the phase-field method to predict finite strain fracture of nearly incompressible hyperelastic materials. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this represents the first successful coupling of the phase-field approach with the STP-based Q1P0 formulation. Through a consistent derivation and condensation of the pressure field, the novel four-field formulation is reduced to a pure displacement-phase-field approach. This reduction constitutes a major advantage of the proposed formulation, as it preserves the size of the global system without introducing additional degrees of freedom. To alleviate the innate conflict between the incompressibility constraint and diffuse crack opening, a tailored phase-field degradation function is integrated into the volumetric contribution, accelerating pressure release and thereby facilitating crack opening. Accordingly, the incompressibility constraint is relaxed in damaged material while remaining strictly enforced in intact material. The proposed formulation offers two more benefits: (i) it provides enhanced generality and applicability with respect to the choice of the volumetric strain-energy function, and (ii) it results in a physically consistent material response in both the nearly incompressible and the compressible regimes. Subsequently, several numerical examples are presented to illustrate the characteristics of the proposed formulation.</p>","PeriodicalId":13699,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering","volume":"127 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2026-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/nme.70436","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149099427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In structural optimization, limiting maximum mechanical stress is critical to the design of safe and reliable structures, a constraint that can be handled using TO. However, the non-differentiability of the calculation of maximum stress, as well as the local nature of stress, led to a variety of approaches, such as smooth aggregation functions and Lagrange-based local stress constraints, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. This paper, however, proposes a new aggregation function which is able to combine the strengths of both of those approaches: it consists of a single aggregated constraint which behaves similarly to local stress constraints. Some sample problems are used to illustrate its properties as well as the effects of the parameters it requires, so that the appropriate ones may be chosen for each problem. It is shown that it manages to obtain topologies with highly homogeneous stress distributions, with maximum stress arbitrarily close to the specified limit (but generally less than it), although it depends on the correct choice of parameters in order to avoid undesirable oscillations in the optimization process.</p>","PeriodicalId":13699,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering","volume":"127 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2026-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/nme.70434","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149099413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
