fracture

Institute of Structural Integrity and Failure Studies & India Science Foundation is Organising International  Conference and Exhibition on Fatigue Durability and Fracture Mechanics  28-30th May 2015

Call for Papers

Liu, M., & Chen, C. (2015). A micromechanical analysis of the fracture properties of saturated porous media. International Journal of Solids and Structures, 63, 32-38.

In this minisymposium we seek to highlight challenging problems in computational solid mechanics that require mesh adaptation methods for their solution. We focus on the finite element method and works that address large deformations and the accompanying inelasticity, damage, crack propagation and failure. Discussion will center on Lagrangian descriptions and determining the necessary computational components to resolve, preserve, and evolve the fields that govern these processes. Prototypical material systems may include, but are not limited to, ductile metals and biomaterials.

Dear All, Please see the attachment. We are looking only for an MSc student intern who is enrolled in a Higher Education Institution (in the European Union). The topic is the variational theory of fracture for microchip manufacturing. Connections to a relevant company in France are possible. Please see also, in the attachment, our 2014 Computational Mechanics Lab Report and our best wishes for 2015. Regards, Stéphane and the team. Best wishes for 2015: http://hdl.handle.net/10993/19425

Dear Reader, 

I recently took over as the ESIS blog editor. Being the second in this baton relay, I will do my best to live up to the good reader expectations that have been established by my precursor, who is also one of the instigators of the blog, Wolfgang Brocks.
