Explores fracture mechanics, crack growth, and the weakest link theory, emphasizing the statistical distribution of crack sizes and the significance of the largest crack in material failure.
Explores rigorous upper and lower bounds for isotropic phase composites and their microstructure arrangement, focusing on laminated plates and stress-strain relationships.
Covers Classical Laminate Theory for solving mechanics problems with multiple material layers, discussing displacements, strains, stresses, and equilibrium.
Covers anisotropic elastic materials, examples, and Voigt notation for stress and strain components, emphasizing the compliance matrix for isotropic materials.
