Within the Research Training Group GRK 2423 "FRASCAL", Sebastian Pfaller gave a one-day "minilecture" on data management strategies, aspects of copyright and licences for own work, and its specific implementation in FRASCAL. First, Sebastian presented the terminology used in FRASCAL for the differen...

From May 8th to May 9th, the research training group FRASCAL spent two days in Waischenfeld for a two-day retreat. The time was filled with interesting exchanges, seminars and presentations: After arriving in Waischenfeld in the morning, the second cohort of FRASCAL kicked off the event by rep...

From March 25th to 28th, Stephanie Chedid and Agustín Ríos (Institut de Chimie et des Matériaux Paris-Est), Fabrice Detrez and Moussa Lamamra (Université Gustave Eiffel), Maxime Vassaux (Institut de Physique de Rennes) and Sebastian Pfaller attended the 32th edition of the "Colloque sur la Déformati...

From April 7th to April 11th, Sebastian Pfaller and Eva Maria Richter, among other collegues from the Institue of Applied Mechanics, attended the 95th annual meeting of the International Association of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics (GAMM 2025) in Poznań, Poland. The week was filled with interest...

Sebastian Pfaller gave a plenary lecture on "Numerical predictions of fracture in amorphous materials: Current achievements and challenges" at the XXIX Conference on Computer Methods in Material Technology (KomPlasTech 2025) in Krynica Zdrój, Poland, upon invitation by the Department of Applied Comp...

On March 27-28, 2025, Felix Weber attended the joint technical meeting of the Technical Committee on Numerical Methods (TC8) of the European Structural Integrity Society (ESIS) together with the DVM-Working Group Simulation in Munich. With a focus on computational modeling techniques for fracture, t...

After being a member for more than 7 years, Maximilian Ries is leaving the Capriccio group to build up a research group of his own. On that note, a short retrospective of his time with us is only appropriate: Max started his doctoral project back in early 2018 and has been a very active member wi...

We are pleased to announce the publication of "Assessing the Capriccio method via one-dimensional systems for coupled continuum-particle simulations in various uniaxial load cases using a novel interdimensional comparison approach" in Computational Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering. ht...

We congratulate Aditi Sharma, who has successfully completed her programming project with the submission of her report on the subject "Implementation of a sophisticated viscoelastic-viscoplastic material model in AceGen." Her work focuses on translating a complex viscoelastic-viscoplastic material m...

We congratulate Terrence Pereira, who successfully finished his seminar with the submission of his seminar report and by giving a presentation on the subject "Review of state-of-the-art continuum mechanical material models that consider multiple physical phenomena". In his work, Terrence tackles ess...
