Dear Colleague,

I kindly inform you that, in the framework of the 14th International
Conference on Fracture (ICF14), to be held in Rhodes, Greece, June 18-23,
2017, we are organizing a mini-symposium on "Fracture and contact in
multiphysics problems: from energy to biological applications".

If you are interested, please submit your two-page abstract through the
ICF14 website (www.icf14.org) by October 31, 2016, selecting our
mini-symposium.

Dear Colleague,

the output of the FIRB Italian Project in the object (Politecnico di Torino, University of Salento and University of Trento, 2012-2016) has been published on the following permanent webpage:
