Amir has returned from ICF14 https://t.co/MvYLB8t5JH in Funchal Portugal where he shared our high throughput fatigue work.

[Derek @Fracture_Group]

Hooman shared his work on insitu repair at ICF14 in Funchal today. With focus on stop drilling cracks. Great meeting in a great place!

[Derek @Fracture_Group]

Just finished sharing Scott and I's work on "Surface Cracks and Ion Exchange" at USNC-TAM26 in Pasadena. A big thanks to the organizers for pulling off such a great meeting https://t.co/QM3ASLCVvc

Cod's poster on "Automated Repair and Stabilisation of Fatigue Cracks - Laser Welding" won the People's Choice Poster Award at our Annual Postgraduate Conference @UCNZ. It was a great poster Cod!

Nice write-up on Amir's high throughput fatigue research in our department newsletter https://t.co/DSjiqhskHA

[Derek @Fracture_Group]

Excited to share our recent publication "Assessment of ChatGPT for Engineering Statics Analysis" https://t.co/7bDqaknBdR

This was a great example of outstanding undergraduate research by Ben and Jayden @UCNZ and outstanding Postdoc leadership @CEECornell

[Derek @Fracture_Group]

Congratulations to Bassel @CEECornell who has just defended his PhD! Exciting work on the Development of Machine Learning Interatomic Potentials for the Magnesium-Calcium-Zinc System. Gaining the ability to simulate such complex materials at the atomic scale is quite exciting.

Congratulations to Ahmed for passing his Confirmation Exam @UCNZ . Way to go Ahmed!

[Derek @Fracture_Group]

Thanks to monumental sustained effort from Ahmed, Amir, Guillaume, John, and Mach3, our high throughput fatigue load frame is in place! Thanks you to all!!!

[Derek @Fracture_Group]

Thanks for the wonderful visit Professor Peipei Li! It was great to get to meet your students and learn more about the exciting work that your group is doing. I look forward to next time.

[Derek @Fracture_Group]

Swati has successfully defended her PhD today. Congratulations Swati @CEECornell, great work! Much to celebrate.

[Derek @Fracture_Group]

Thanks to ICDM 2025 - International Conference on Damage Mechanics, for giving us @grantwest40 @UCNZ an opportunity to share our high throughput fatigue testing work https://t.co/WBVPODqqCq in Singapore.

[Derek @Fracture_Group]

Thank you for visiting us, Brad Boyce @SandiaLabs! It was inspiring to learn about your recent work on fatigue and your insights will really help with our own work on high throughput fatigue characterization @UCNZ.

[Derek @Fracture_Group]

Hooman won an award for his Flash Presentation on "Innovative In Situ Repair and Stabilization Strategies" during the CNRE @UCNZ postgraduate conference. Way to go @hoomanpak!!!!!

[Derek @Fracture_Group]

Congratulations to @grantwest40 on his Postdoc position with John Dolbow @DukeEngineering! He will be exploring some interesting topics: modeling acoustics, elastodynamics, and damage in pulsed lasers on kidney stones

[Derek @Fracture_Group]

Thank you for the tour @HamiltonJetHQ. Your end-to-end manufacturing capabilities were eye opening and very impressive! I look forward to working together @UCNZ .

[Derek @Fracture_Group]

Thank you KT Ramesh @JHU_HEMI for spending the year with us! We @UCNZ learned much from you and will look forward to future interactions.

[Derek @Fracture_Group]

Mechanical failures are often highly stochastic, thus we need more data - excited to share @grantwest40 's paper @CEEcornell @UCNZ on a stacked cylinder approach for standardized high-throughput uniaxial fatigue characterization: https://t.co/Eglpce1zUZ

[Derek @Fracture_Group]

@grantwest40's work has been published: A stacked cylinder approach for standardised high-throughput uniaxial fatigue characterisation - https://t.co/Eglpce125r

Congratulations Grant!

Swati @CEECornell @UCNZ is presenting her latest work on atomistic simulation of subcritical crack growth in glass today at 2:55PM #PacRim16 #GOMD2025 in Vancouver. She will be (digitally) in the symposium on the "Fundamentals of the Glassy State"
