A workshop on Advanced Computational Methods for Fracture/Failure of Materials, 6th-7th December, 2019
A workshop on "Advanced Computational Methods for Fracture/Failure of Materials" has been conducted by Dr. P.R. Budarapu, Dr. M.K. Pandit and Dr. A.K. Pradhan, School of Mechanical Sciences during 6-7 Dec 2019. Prof. G.R. Liu, University of Cincinneati, USA, Dr. Ratna Kunar Annabattula and Dr. Narasimhan Swaminathan from IIT Madras have delivered invited talks. In total 38 participants from various academic institutions were present for the workshop. The workshop was sponsored by Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB), Dept. of Science & Technology (DST) and Council of Scientific & Industrial Research Center (CSIR).
The main objective of this workshop is to introduce the advanced computational methods for material failure, which will help to develop better and efficient techniques to simulate and study fracture in various materials. The course was beneficial to students, faculty members, academicians, researchers from research and development organisations and professionals from various public and private sector to get a kick-start in the areas related to advanced computational modelling of fracture/failure of materials.
