A PDE-constrained optimization formulation for discrete fracture network flows [PDF]
We investigate a new numerical approach for the computation of the 3D flow in a discrete fracture network that does not require a conforming discretization of partial differential equations on complex 3D systems of planar fractures.

Combined index finger pollicization with an anterolateral thigh fl ap for thumb reconstruction
A severe crush injury to the hand is devastating to patients. Under conditions in which the crush force is too great, the digits are not viable candidates for replantation. We present two cases in which the patients suffered from loss of the thumb ray at

Fracture mechanics of volcanic eruptions [PDF]
Seismology is a key tool in the forecasting of volcanic eruptions. The onset of an eruption is often preceded and accompanied by an increase in local seismic activity, driven by fracturing within the edifice.

Buoyancy-driven crack propagation: the limit of large fracture toughness [PDF]
We study steady vertical propagation of a crack filled with buoyant viscous fluid through an elastic solid with large effective fracture toughness. For a crack fed by a constant flux Q, a non-dimensional fracture toughness K=Kc/(3μQm3/2)1/4 describes the

Generalized phase-field models for brittle and ductile fracture
The formation of fracture or slip surfaces in brittle or perfectly-plastic bodies, respectively, is predicted by the minimization of a two field free-energy functional as in classical phase-field models.

Cyclic fracture behaviour of brazed martensitic stainless steel joints
In the present work, the cyclic fracture behaviour of brazed joints of the soft martensitic stainless steel X3CrNiMo13-4 was investigated. The fatigue crack propagation curves (da/dN-ΔK) were derived for different load ratios R.
