fracture mechanics
Freely Downloadable Special Issue of Journal of Applied Mechanics/Century of Fracture Mechanics/John W. Hutchinson's 80th Birthday
Fracture mechanics is one of the key research topics in our field (of mechanics) and has a rather rich history of innovation and applications. From earth-quakes to air-planes---the mechanics underpinning the phenomenon of materials falling apart has been essential in the development of technology. Griffith’s work on fracture was published about a 100 years ago and is often widely regarded as the start of modern fracture mechanics. The Century Fracture Mechanics Summit (CFMS), was held in Singapore on Apr.

Fracture mechanics of porous materials
Fracture mechanics of porous materials

The effects of pore geometry on fracture mechanics is studied by considering notches of various types with a uniform crack growth. This work, published in Engineering Fracture mechanics, sheds light on the role of stress concentrators in the toughness of porous materials.
Available PhD position at the Division of Mechanics at Lund University
The Division of Mechanics at Lund University, Sweden, invites highly motivated and creative applicants for a PhD position oriented towards multiscale modelling of yielding and failure of materials subjected to harsh conditions in energy applications (e.g. components in fusion reactors, battery components, etc.). The research program focuses on improving the understanding of the yielding and failure mechanisms, with the ultimate goal to develop atomistically-informed continuum-based theoretical and computational models to predict yielding and failure in energy materials.
