Department of Mechanical Engineering Seminar Series – Gabriele Albertini

A mechanical engineering seminar in which Gabriele Albertini of the University of Nottingham discusses how geometry controls failure dynamics in fracture and friction.

This talk is part of Imperial College London's Department of Mechanical Engineering Seminar Series. Gabriele Albertini, Assistant Professor at the University of Nottingham, presents 'How Geometry Controls Failure Dynamics: Insights from Fracture (Stick–Break) and Friction (Stick–Slip)'. His research combines computational, experimental and data-driven approaches to friction and fracture mechanics, focusing on high-strain-rate and non-equilibrium dynamics of cracks and slip pulses. The seminar runs for one hour in room CAGB 640.
