Real time cutting and mesh coupling approaches for multi resolution surgical simulation. Size effects and non local plasticity XFEM fracture formulation. Journal club theme: PGD. Legato group meeting.

We have two visitors and close collaborators in the lab today at the group meeting

1. Hadrien Courtecuisse from ICube. 
2. Phuoc Bui from ICube funded by Stéphane s USIAS fellowship. 
3. And a long term visitor Emilio from Spain. Welcome!

The topics of the three talks will be

• Real time cutting simulation in hyperelastic materials and computer guided robotic needle insertion
• Mesh coupling approaches for multi resolution surgical simulation. 
• Size effects and non local plasticity: XFEM fracture formulation. 

Journal club theme: PGD. 

We all look forward to the discussion
