From 23rd of June to the August 1st, Mathis Demeillat visited the Capriccio group within the context of a six-week research intership. Mathis studies "physical engineering and embedded systems" in his master's degree at the École nationale supérieure d’ingénieurs de Caen. During his time with us, Ma...

We are pleased to announce the publication of our manuscript "Approaching and overcoming the limitations of the multiscale Capriccio method for simulating the mechanical behavior of amorphous materials" in the International Journal of Engineering Science. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijengsci.2025.1...

From July 7th to 11th, the 12th European Solid Mechanics Conference (ESMC) took place at Lyon, France. Sebastian Pfaller was invited to give a keynote presentation within Minisymposium 1.6 "Mechanics of Polymers" organised by Florian Arbeiter, Jean-Luc Bouvard, and Julie Diani. His talk on "Modellin...

From July 14th to July 17th, Fabrice Detrez visited the Capriccio group for scientific exchange within our collaborative project "BIO ART" and beyond.
