Issues in Computational Modeling of Damage, Fracture and Fragmentation of Solid Materials

Computational modeling of damage, fracture, and fragmentation of solid materials is crucial for accelerating the deployment of new material systems into commercial applications. Over the past decades, several numerical approaches have been proposed to address this problem, each of them having advantages and limitations. This symposium will discuss recent advances in the computational modeling of damage, fracture and damage in solids and structures across the scales, making special emphasis on the challenges faced by current approaches such as cohesive elements, XFEM, damage models, and particle methods, as well as the strategies proposed to overcome them. Contributions on applications of modeling of fracture and damage to understand complex multi-scale and multi-physics phenomena are also welcomed.
