The mechanics of fracture propagation provides essential knowledge for the risk tolerance design of devices, structures, and vehicles. Techniques of free energy minimization provide guidance, but have limited applicability ...

Partial differential equations arising in the context of interfaces and free boundaries encompass a flourishing area of research. The workshop focused on new developments and emerging new themes. At the same time also ...

When high-intensity electromagnetic waves at optical frequencies interact with solids and/or nanostructures the materials' response cannot anymore be described via simple linear relations. The resulting science of nonlinear ...
