General information
The mathematical foundation of fracture mechanics has seen considerable advances in the last years. This field of science covers a big variety of exciting topics, including propagation of cracks, equilibrium of structures with thin inclusions in the presence of delaminations, frictional contact problems, inverse and control problems. The aim of the workshop "Mathematical analysis of fracture phenomena for elastic structures and its applications" is to bring together researchers working on different aspects of these issues. The workshop provides a platform for researchers to communicate, discuss, and exchange ideas under the common theme of fracture phenomena.
The Workshop topics:
• elasticity problems
• modeling of composite materials
• fracture mechanics
• study of mathematical models for solids with defects
• asymptotic and multiscale analysis
• optimal shape design
• inverse problems
The first Workshop “Mathematical analysis of fracture phenomena for elastic structures and its applications” was hosted in Novosibirsk in November 2019 due to the collaboration of researchers from Japan and Russia. The Second Russia-Japan Workshop was held in December 2020. The geography of the workshop participants was expanded: researchers from Russia, Japan, Germany, Austria and Czech Republic were involved. Another meeting happen in December 2021 when The Third Russia-Japan Workshop took place.
