  • What it is

    Mobility experience with a research focus

  • Who it’s for

    PhD sandwich; Post Doc

Department

Civil and environmental engineering, Politecnico of Milan

 

Main research activities/topics/projects

The research project concerns the study and development of numerical methods for the simulation of crack propagation in solids and structures. The focus will be on methods like cohesive models for delamination, phase-field approaches for brittle and ductile fracture and Virtual Element methods for crack propagation, depending also on the candidate’s background.
