Advanced R&D Training “Innovative strategies for three dimensional modelling of fracture phenomena” 4-7 SEPTEMBER 2012

 INSAVALOR, the subsidiary of industrial development and further education of INSA Lyon and further education service of Grenoble INP offer throughout the year a high-level seminars based on the results of research laboratories schools.

These seminars in English or/and in French (with a duration of 2 to 4 days) are designed for global companies that wish to promote the development of skills of their executives, experts, specialists, researchers. 

Public Profile

Engineers R&D, teachers, researchers, PhD Students, Post-Doc Students

 Prerequisites

Continuum mechanics, behavior of solid materials, numerical methods dedicated to structural mechanics, computational mechanics.

 Programm

Novel techniques for modeling 3D cracks and their evolution in solids are presented. Cracks are modeled in terms of signed distance functions (level sets). Stress, strain and displacement field are determined using the extended finite elements method (X-FEM). Non-linear constitutive behavior for the crack tip region are developed within this framework to account for non-linear effect in crack propagation. Applications for static or dynamics case are provided.
