Computational Physics and Mechanics Lab at Vanderbilt University, lead by Prof. Ravindra Duddu, focuses on simulating fracture and phase interface evolution.
📢New paper! Our latest paper, highlighted paper in The Cryosphere, brings a new paradigm to glaciology, revealing for the first time the important role that viscous strains can play in ice-sheet fractures. This is achieved with a new two-scale model. See: tc.copernicus.org/articles/1…
Excited to share this highlight paper tc.copernicus.org/articles/1… recently published in The Cryosphere. It shows the importance of viscous deformations in the context of hydraulic fracture and supraglacial lake drainage. @MartinezPanedaE@moulinology
Can the phase field fracture model with just two free parameters (blind) predict the load-displacement path and crack trajectory in three point bending experiments. We say yes, in our latest paper sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
"While nursing home industry leaders plead poverty to fight a proposed staffing standard, private equity owners are funneling cash into their affiliated real estate and management firms. levernews.com/where-nursing-…" This is what it takes to accumulate vast amounts of private wealth.
Saw this EV at the charging station on the highway being charged on a diesel generator.
We buy EVs, charge them on fossil fuels and then try to make a statement "I have gone green, I drive a EV."
I suspect many AI projects will end up in ruin because its developers are just muddling around getting their dopamine hits from the deluge of micro-events about AI. They focus only on the trees but can't see the forest!
A new book chapter review I co-wrote with @mmobasher_csm on computational modeling of ice mechanics from engineering and glaciology perspectives. sciencedirect.com/science/ar… Look forward the community feedback.
Excited to be delivering the inaugural webinar. Please join to learn more about our collaborative work (with @MechMaterials and Alexander Huth at NOAA on simulating hydraulic fracture in glaciers and ice shelves.
Heartbroken to hear that a dear friend and colleague @RogueChrisB passed away last week. Chris, you will be remembered forever through your impactful papers on ice damage. Rest in peace, dear friend.
It is a part of a special issue on "Computational Modeling of Ice Sheets and Glaciers" that includes other great contributions from @GatorGlaciology@BrinkerhoffDoug@CpmlVandy
For the first time I crossed 40 journal publications this month, and this is how my word cloud looks. Note to myself - do not include "using" in my paper titles henceforth.
This paper has been in the works for several years through the lead author Alex Huth's journey from a graduate student at UW to postdoc at Princeton to now staff scientist at NOAA. A great milestone.
