Eva Maria Richter: New publication in Engineering Fracture Mechanics
We are happy to annouce that a new article titled “Investigating fracture mechanisms of thermoplastics at the micrometre scale using large-scale MD simulations” has been published in the journal Engineering Fracture Mechanics (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.engfracmech.2026.112293). Eva Maria Richter and her co-authors Felix Weber, Maximilian Ries and Sebastian Pfaller use a novel framework that successfully upscales an established […]We are happy to annouce that a new article titled “Investigating fracture mechanisms of thermoplastics at the micrometre scale using large-scale MD simulations” has been published in the journal Engineering Fracture Mechanics (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.engfracmech.2026.112293).

Capriccio research highlights at the 13th FRASCAL Seminar
The Capriccio group members Eva Richter and Lukas Laubert presented their ongoing research alongside other FRASCAL doctoral researchers on May 22, 2026, at the 13th FRASCAL Seminar. Driven by the goal of deepening the understanding of the fracture behavior of thermoplastics, Eva Richter detailed her work on multiscale mechanics. She highlighted key insights from 30-million […]

Completion of Felix Weber’s doctorate
Felix Weber has successfully defended his doctoral thesis entitled “Multiscale fracture modeling of amorphous materials: Bridging atomistic and continuum mechanical perspectives”. After a public presentation and a public discussion, Felix had to undergo a non-public thesis examination. He did very well such that the final grade was with distinction. We congratulate Felix for this impressive […]Felix Weber has successfully defended his doctoral thesis entitled “Multiscale fracture modeling of amorphous materials: Bridging atomistic and continuum mechanical perspectives”.
