Talk on Salome platform integration wirh OOFEM by Vit Šmilauer on Feb 15th, 16:00 CET as a part of OOFEM open seminars, see oofem.org/en/seminars.

Happy to announce @OOFEM_org autumn training course, taking place on 12.-15. September 2022 at Czech Technical University in Prague, Czech Republic, see oofem.org/en/courses. City of Prague

Huge congratulations to the three winners of the UKACM conference prizes! #UKACM30

Now is the time to go to Mugdock park.

Pero Prebeg and Marin Palaversa from Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture, University of Zagreb will give a talk on Adaptation of OOFEM for ship structural analysis and design on June 20th from 14:00. See oofem.org/en/seminars.

Petr Havlásek presented his nice work on spiral reinforced concrete columns at euro-c. Computations done with OOFEM. By the way, open access is available here: euro-c.org/conference-inf…

A postdoctoral position (for 2.5 years) in my group on mechanical metamaterials is available. This is a flexible research position, and the successful candidate will have the freedom to develop their own direction with my support. Apply with this link: buff.ly/3S1uIHm

Please see my new article in which I investigate computationally the effect of lateral compression on tensile fracture processes. doi.org/10.1016/j.ijso…

Quick lunch time walk through Kelvingrove park. #uofglasgow

Just back from CFrac2023 mech.fsv.cvut.cz/cfrac/ where I talked about fracture in cohesive frictional materials. petergrassl.com/tempFiles/gras… Very nice conference. Good to meet other OOFEM developers.

The fracture lattice simulations in our Cfrac presentation are all performed with OOFEM oofem.org/doku.php?id=en… We implement all our lattice elements and constitutive models for fracture and mass transport in OOFEM.

The previous video was for compression-pre loading in the perpendicular direction. This one is for direct tension without lateral compression. All simulated with OOFEM.org using our lattice models for fracture.

Our Structural Safety paper on reliability analysis with hard computatinal models is now publicly avalable. It uses a geometrical approach. The number of function evaluations is small, binary models are welcome, novel sensitivity analysis ResearchGate: researchgate.net/publication/37…

New paper from Chao Zhou's (orcid.org/0009-0001-2187…) PhD project on modelling the failure of strain hardening cementitious materials: doi.org/10.1016/j.engf… (open access)

New paper! We propose a simple model to predict Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) failures, for the first time resolving the interplay between porosity, corrosion and cracking. The last paper of Evzen's PhD thesis. Check it out here: nature.com/articles/s4152…

It‘s the time of year when I am really glad that I live in Glasgow. Mugdock country park at its best.
