Seminar for Tongji University - "Advanced computational methods for predicting fracture in materials, structures and ice-sheets". Prof Emilio Martinez-Paneda, University of Oxford

Abstract
Predicting the fracture of components and materials across scales continues to be a scientific challenge and this carries an important cost (in excess of $7 billion in China). However, the development of phase field methodologies has opened new horizons in the modelling and prediction of engineering and natural fractures. In this talk, the speaker will overview some of his team's recent work in developing theoretical and computational models capable of predicting failure phenomena in nature and technology, from the cyclic cracking of electrode particles in Li-Ion batteries to the growth of crevasses in large ice sheets. Particular emphasis will be placed on applications involving civil and energy infrastructure, where understanding the interaction between the material and the environment is crucial.
