Fracture mechanics is a significant scientific field of great practical importance. Recently the subject
has been invigorated by a number of important accomplishments. From the viewpoint of
fundamental science there have been interesting new developments aimed at understanding
fracture at the atomic scale; simultaneously, active research programmes have focussed on
mathematical modelling, experimentation and computation at macroscopic scales. The workshop
aims to examine various different approaches to the modelling, analysis and computation of
fracture. The programme will allow time for discussion.Invited speakers include:
Andrea Braides (Università di Roma II, Italy)
Adriana Garroni (Università di Roma, La Sapienza, Italy)
Christopher Larsen (Worcester Polytechnic Institute, USA)
Matteo Negri (Università di Pavia, Italy)
Robert Rudd (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, USA)
