Simpleware at InterPore 2017, Sep 4-5
September 4 - 5, 2017 - University of Warwick, Coventry, UK
The major aim of UK InterPore Conference is to bring together specialists from academia and industry working in areas related to porous media. This is the third annual conference of the UK chapter of the International Society for Porous Media (InterPore). It aims to advance and disseminate the knowledge for the understanding, description, and modeling of natural and industrial porous media systems.

Eigenerosion for static and dynamic brittle fracture
In contrast to many numerical methods, the eigenerosion approach yields a convenient description of fracture handled in the postprocessing part of a Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Its fully energetic formulation avoids the introduction of extra degrees of freedom to model fracture propagation. Following previous works on eigenerosion, in this publication, a modified formulation of eigenfracture it is introduced, where it is distinguished between compression and tension loaded state. This formulation has the advantage that it relates the crack propagation process only to tensile loading.
Newton optimization algorithm made 10x faster. From necessity to reality.
A new optimization concept is introduced which involves the gradient-based optimization of any nonlinear structure by using gradients calculated from a linear equivalent, leading thus to significant computational savings compared to the classical Newton-type optimization algorithms which require gradient information from the nonlinear structure itself.
