Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This book presents an extensive, unified, and up-to-date approach to the still developing subject of fracture mechanics from an applied mechanics perspective. Progressing from the simple to the more advanced topics, it goes beyond the well developed area of linear elastic fracture mechanics to consider the dynamic and elastic-plastic regimes, and in doing so, extends the subject into a broader range of realistic engineering applications.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Introduction and overview -- Elements of solid mechanics -- Linear elastic fracture mechanics -- Dynamic fracture mechanics -- Elastic-plastic fracture mechanics -- Fracture mechanics models for fiber reinforced composites -- Time-dependent fracture -- Some nonlinear aspects of fatigue crack propagation -- Sources of information in fracture mechanics.
