In the 1st FRASCAL Virtual Colloquium, recent studies on fracture and the failure of materials were presented by various guest speakers, including material instability, crack formation and transition, material adhesion and grain boundary evolution. A wide variety of materials, from brittle to ductile and from crystalline to disordered, were discussed.

The 1st FRASCAL Virtual Colloquium aims to provide a platform to discuss recent advances in computational modeling of fracture at various length and time scales. The event will take place from April 22 to July 22, 2021, and will comprise a series of weekly invited talks by international experts
