CISM-ECCOMAS International Summer School 2024
ECCOMAS is pleased to announce the CISM course “Variational Fracture Mechanics and Phase-Field Models” coordinated by Laura de Lorenzis (ETH Zurich) and Corrado Maurini (Sorbonne Université) which takes place in Udine, Italy, from July 1-5, 2024
The course is offered in a hybrid format giving the possibility to attend the course also by remote (on Microsoft Teams platform). On-site places are limited and assigned on first come first served basis.
The goal of this course is to provide to graduate students, young researchers and engineers a complete and multidisciplinary presentation of the variational phase-field approach to fracture.
This new paradigm for the theoretical and computational treatment of damage and fracture has emerged in the past two decades as a game changer for both theory and applications and has attracted large attention in the broad fracture mechanics community as well as from industry. The lecturers will present phase-field fracture modeling in the framework of the variational Griffith’ theory of fracture mechanics and its variational regularization, of gradient damage models, as well as of phase-field modeling for phase transformations.
