Dear Colleauges,

Peridynamics is a new continuum mechanics formulation and it is especially very suitable for modelling crack initiation and propagation. The importance of cracks in our daily life and how peridynamics can be useful for analysing cracks are highlighted at BBC News Scotland. For the details of the story, please click on the link below:
