Dear colleagues,

The deadline for the registration and submission of one page abstracts has been extended to the 21st February 2011.

XFEM 2011 is one of the successful series of

ECCOMAS thematic events.

XFEM 2011 is a medium-size conference

with a balanced participation covering both the theoretical aspects of the subject and engineering applications.

Objectives

Dear colleagues,
