Another great class which I liked a lot. This class was more focused on simulation methods. There were a lot of interesting things to learn. I worked on Fracture of Brittle Materials. The most interesting part was the implementation – which finally worked and properly simulated the breaking of a glass plate and a bowl.

The videos and the project report can be found below:

(The different glass plates that are shown here have different material properties and they are shown in real slow speed.).
