Computational Fracture Mechanics

 

Organized by Ted Belytschko

 

 

The mini-symposium goal is to record the progress achieved in the design of efficient computational tools for fracture mechanics. More precisely, the following computational challenges are considered:


* 3D fatigue cracks propagation

* Dynamic crack propagation

* computational means to shift from a damage to a fracture model

* convergence of cohesive models

* micro-cracks merging to a macro crack

* strain localization modeling at the tip of a crack

* Large deformation cracking

* Multi-scale analysis of small cracks
