Introduction
This is a reminder that our next monthly webinar is December 5, 3-4pm EST. The speaker will be Associate Professor Chao Hu from University of Connecticut. We are hoping the format will promote a lively interactive discussion and engage both junior and senior members of our community. Look forward to seeing you there.

I am happy to announce that a postdoctoral fellowship is available in the Dolbow Research Group at Duke University, working in the area of computational fracture mechanics. The fellowship provides the opportunity to work on an emerging class of complete fracture models that incorporate the three ingredients that are necessary to be predictive with elastic brittle materials: their elasticity, their fracture toughness, and their strength.
The Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (R1) is seeking a visionary leader to serve as Department Chair. If you are interested in this exciting leadership opportunity, please apply here :

We kindly request you to share this opportunity with anyone who might be a strong candidate for this role.
Thank you,

Equations not arising from a variational principle, as well as ones that arise from functionals that are not bounded above or below, can be endowed with one with favorable properties. The concept, and some examples are listed below:

Abstract
The problem of fracture in quasi-brittle materials is strongly linked with a zone of micro-cracking known as the fracture process zone (FPZ). For monotonic loading, the material length scale parameter D0 is used in strength scaling law to describe the transition from strength criteria to linear elastic fracture mechanics criteria.
