Published:
As part of the USACM Summer School this year, my advisor, Prof. Oscar Lopez-Pamies, and Prof. John Dolbow will be offering a short course on the phase-field approach to brittle fracture. The course will be held from August 10-13, 2026, and will cover both the theory and numerical implementation of the phase-field method for modeling brittle fracture. You can find more information about the course and register here.

My recent work, “The Single Edge Notch Fracture Test for Viscoelastic Elastomers,” was recently published in the Journal of Theoretical, Computational and Applied Mechanics and can be accessed here. Fortunately, the journal is open access, and you can also access the back-and-forth review process here. Personally, I find the review process both entertaining and insightful, and I hope you will find it useful as well.
