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 fracture mechanics, fatigue testing, and material toughness, emphasizing real-world applications and the importance of understanding critical stress intensity factors.
Explores crack-tip energy dissipation, cohesive zone model analysis, small-scale yielding, stress fields near crack tips, and atomistic stress results.
