In the run-up to the Workshop "Multiscale Modeling and Simulation of Fracture" Prof. Michael Ortiz will give a guest lecture on "Multiscale Modeling And Simulation Of Fracture And Fragmentation – Application To Fused Silica Glass".

The Guest Lecture by Prof. Ortiz is followed by four presentations by Ph.D. and PostDoc researchers:

• Coupled Two-Scale Simulation Of Multiphase Steel
  A. Gandhi and D. Balzani


• Variational Interface Model In Solid And Hydraulic Fracturing Problems
  I. Khisamitov and G. Meschke


• A Relaxation-Based Approach To Damage Modeling
  P. Junker and K. Hackl


• Multiscale Modeling Of Transport And Deterioration In Porous Materials
  J.J. Timothy and G. Meschke
