Itai Danieli (left, PhD candidate), Tamir Albik (right) and Sagi Aharoni (far right), who received their master's diploma yesterday. A wonderful moment for both the students and the advisor.

about numerical modeling of notched lattice fracture under opening and shear impact, to appear in Engineering Fracture Mechanics. You may have viewed previous movies about the experiments and this (3d) paper sheds light on the fracture process itself, whether simultaneous strut failure or sequential. Warm congratulations to Yahav Boim, the main author and PhD candidate under our joint supervision.

Different subject but still, impact mechanics.

Congratulations to the co-authors (Prof. Jing Xie)

Ocular injury mechanics under blunt and shock wave impact: a review

Today, I want to specially congratulate my graduate student Itai Danieli for his newly accepted paper. This was one of the toughest professional adventures I experienced, but every round of reviews and rejections prompted Itai do improve the paper until this last version where one could not comment but accept. The process took some 14 months! To which I will add that the original idea and the mathematical developments are 100% Itai's, which is indeed an outstanding achievement.
