[Abstract] In 1921 Griffith published his seminal paper, basically describing the theory of Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics. Today, 100 years later, this theory shows new generalizations and implications that we will discuss in this Keynote. Understanding fracture mechanics in several disciplines, from nano- to earthquake- engineering including medicine (e.g. bone fracture), is indeed vital and is currently limiting our technologies and lives.
