Description

 

This session is concerned with modelling of material property data and fracture mechanisms using a range of tools that include computer simulations and statistical analysis.  Mesoscopic simulations of damage accumulation based on understanding of mechanisms of crack initiation and growth and computer simulations of cracking mechanisms are part of this session.  Use of probability models and advanced statistical techniques to study structure property relationships and failure mechanisms will be covered in the session.  Additional topics cover probabilistic fracture mechanics and reliability analysis.
