With around 20 project partners (a combination of European universities, European companies and universities in China/Russia/USA), we aim to expand our knowledge of fracture by learning from adjacent disciplines, theory and applications, and the inclusion of physics as well as statistics. Most of the research is based around secondments in partner institutions, which emphasizes the cross-disciplinary nature of the project.
