Study of the evolution of deformation of the crack front
The phenomenon of crack propagation in a heterogeneous material is a central research topic in fracture mechanics. Over the last two decades, several studies, both... -

Domain decomposition and multi-scale computations of singularities in mechani...
A major issue in fracture mechanics is to model the nucleation of a crack in a sound material. There are two difficulties: the first one is to propose a law able to... -
Couplage modèles discrets - modèles continus pour la simulation d'endommageme...
A discrete-continuum coupling approach has been developed to simulate the laser-induced damage in silica glass. First, a classification of the different numerical...
