This work presents an innovative thermo-mechanical phase field model considering solid-liquid transitions. An accurate predictive equation for critical strain energy density is derived and utilized in the multi-physical model. An idealized electrothermal de-icing process is numerically modelled, and the melting-shedding behavior is in good agreement with the experimental observations.
