مستخلص: Dynamic crack branching in unsaturated porous media holds significant relevance in various fields, including geotechnical engineering, geosciences, and petroleum engineering. This article presents a numerical investigation into dynamic crack branching in unsaturated porous media using a recently developed coupled micro‐periporomechanics (PPM) paradigm. This paradigm extends the PPM model by incorporating the micro‐rotation of the solid skeleton. Within this framework, each material point is equipped with three degrees of freedom: displacement, micro‐rotation, and fluid pressure. Consistent with the Cosserat continuum theory, a length scale associated with the micro‐rotation of material points is inherently integrated into the model. This study encompasses several key aspects: (1) Validation of the coupled micro‐PPM paradigm for effectively modeling crack branching in deformable porous media, (2) Examination of the transition from a single branch to multiple branches in porous media under drained conditions, (3) Simulation of single crack branching in unsaturated porous media under dynamic loading conditions, and (4) Investigation of multiple crack branching in unsaturated porous media under dynamic loading conditions. The numerical results obtained in this study are systematically analyzed to elucidate the factors that influence crack branching in porous media subjected to dynamic loading. Furthermore, the comprehensive numerical findings underscore the efficacy and robustness of the coupled micro‐PPM paradigm in accurately modeling dynamic crack branching in variably saturated porous media.
