  • CEE Seminar – Scalable Fracture Simulation and Multiscale Modeling Powered by Peridynamics

    Wilkinson Building, room 021 auditorium

    Fracture presents one of the most critical challenges in engineering, directly impacting the safety, durability, and performance of materials and structures relevant to many industries. Its inherently complex nature makes accurate fracture modeling a significant hurdle. Peridynamics, a powerful nonlocal reformulation of classical continuum mechanics, is designed to excel in simulating material failure and damage. […]
