Computational Fracture Mechanics

I have the following questions.

How to model alloy in LAMMPS? How to automatically randomize the position of atoms of various types?
Also how to evaluate the mechanical properties such as Elastic modulus and Fracture toughness?
Is it possible to model interface fracture using LAMMPS?

Strain Energy Release Rate

calculating fracture toughness G in ansys

Hello everybody,

I am working on FE Simulation of interface cracks. To this end, I use modified VCCT, CSDEM and other such methods to determine mesh independent strain energy release rate (G) and Mode mixity (ψ). Now I have a fundamental doubt.

Crystal plasticity

Computational Fracture Mechanics

Two PhD positions are currently available in the Computational Laboratory for the Mechanics of Interfaces at the University of Tennessee - Knoxville (http://clmi.utk.edu). Research topics are in the following areas:

1. Modeling of aluminum alloys using dislocation density based crystal plasticity methods.

2. Fracture in composite materials using a Discontinuous Galerkin method for debonding
