DESCRIPTION:Dr Sonia Mogilevskaya\, Department of Civil Engineering at the
  University of Minnesota\, USA\nThe feeling of “lost is translation” i
 s familiar to everyone who stumbles on a relevant literature source writte
 n by someone with a different academic background. It may take a significa
 nt effort to “translate” the source and interpret its contents into a 
 familiar “language.” This may happen in various research areas and ana
 lysis of crack problems is one of such examples. The methods of analytical
  or computational crack modeling vary with the academic background of the 
 researcher and with specific applications. In addition\, as typically happ
 ens in scientific research\, the developments in the relevant areas take p
 lace simultaneously in different countries\, and the results are literally
  described and published in different languages. Some of those publication
 s are not even translated.\nThe talk examines major techniques for modelin
 g elastostatic crack problems. The foundations of these techniques and fun
 damental papers that introduced\, developed\, and applied them are reviewe
 d. The goal is to provide “translation” between different academic lan
 guages that describe the same problem.
