Fracture mechanics researchers around the world are competing to unravel how cracks propagate in materials such as metals and ceramics to help the industrial sector design more robust and functional materials. Professor Yoshitaka Umeno of UTokyo-IIS is taking a unique approach to examine mechanical behaviors of materials such as deformations and cracks at nano and micro levels - phenomena which are difficult to grasp even with the use of state-of-the-art microscopes - through modeling and simulation.
