[Dottorcomp] REMINDER: METaL Seminars, Luigi Greco, 28/01/2026, 11:00-12:00, Aula Beltrami

[Siam Student Chapter]

Dear all,

This is a gentle reminder about the upcoming* METal Seminar** - Mathematics
& Engineering Talks and Lectures*, on *January 28th, *from *11:00 to 12:00 *at
the Department of Mathematics in Aula Beltrami.

Here are the details of the Seminar*:*

   - *Speaker*: Luigi Greco - Researcher at University of Pavia.


   - *Title*:* High-order Phase-Field Models for accurate and efficient
   fracture simulations via Isogeometric discretization: theoretical aspects
   and experimental applications.*


   - *Where and when*: January 28th, *11:00-12:00*, Aula Beltrami,
   Department of Mathematics, University of Pavia.


   - *Abstract: *Fracture phenomena can compromise the functionality of
   structural elements and industrial components, making their prevention a
   fundamental design requirement. Phase-field models have become increasingly
   popular for simulating complex crack propagation, thanks to their
   versatility and robustness. However, standard phase-field approaches often
   come with high computational costs.
   This talk presents high-order phase-field models for fracture, which
   allow for a reduction of the computational cost by exploiting the increased
   regularity of the problem. Isogeometric Analysis is employed as a
   discretization framework, enabling an efficient treatment of high-order
   terms. The approach is assessed through a numerical-experimental
   comparison, aimed at reproducing the observed crack patterns and key
   engineering quantities of interest, thus demonstrating its ability to
   capture relevant fracture behaviour in practical applications.
