International Journal of Fracture is a comprehensive platform for original contributions that (i) enhance the understanding of micro and macro fracture mechanisms in all materials; (ii) focus on experimental, theoretical and computational investigations of the mechanics of fracture, damage and failure; (iii) advance structural integrity assessment.
Special Issue on Nonlocal Models in Fracture and Damage - Part II
Volume 245, Issue 1-2 February 2024
Guest Editors: Florin Bobaru, Ziguang Chen & Ugo Galvanetto
This Special Issue presents the latest advances in simulating fracture and damage with a variety of approaches, including peridynamics, phase-field, atomistic, discrete-element method, and cohesive-zone models.
CLOSED FOR SUBMISSIONS
Guest Editors: Zengtao Chen, Minghao Zhao, Cunfa Gao & Efstathios E. Theotokoglou
This Special Issue focuses on modelling, simulation and characterization of failure behavior of advanced materials and structures. In particular, mathematical modelling, experimental study and numerical simulation of failure behavior of advanced materials and structures under various multiphysical disturbances will be the main focus of the volume.
