About this title

Synopsis

Presents a straightforward and unified interpretation of the basic concepts and underlying principles of the discipline of fracture mechanics. A general survey of the field would serve no purpose other than to give a collection of references and outline equations and results. A realistic application of fracture mechanics could not be made without a sound understanding of the fundamentals. The book is self-contained, the presentations are concise and each topic can be understood by advanced undergraduates in material science and continuum mechanics. Each chapter contains illustrative example problems and homework problems. A total of about 50 example problems and more than 200 unsolved problems are included in the book. "Fracture Mechanics" contains 10 chapters. The first, introductory chapter gives a brief account of some characteristic failures that could not be explained by the traditional criteria.

Review

From the reviews of the second edition:

"The second edition of this textbook ... now covers the latest developments as well as the basic principles and traditional applications of composites, thin films and cement materials." (Materials Today, May 2005)
