The main objective of the proposed course is to introduce the advanced computational methods for fracture, which will help to develop better and efficient techniques to simulate and study fracture in various applications. Therefore, the participants will be exposed to the aspects of computational fracture, including sub-scale analysis, Multiscale methods by coupling the coarse and fine scales, to simulate the crack growth, along with some applications.

Also, towards the end an introduction to data driven analysis for Engineering applications, especially: machine learning interatomic potentials, neural operators and PINNs will also be provided
