Fracture mechanics research activities at Sandia/California: an overview

摘要

An overview of the fracture mechanics research activities in the Science-Based Materials Modelling Department at Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore, California is presented. The main mission driver for the work is the develop-ment of predictive modelling and simulation capabilities in the post-failure regime of materials responses. Presentation will highlight research accomplishments in several specific areas of current interest.
