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 constitutive modelling in geomechanics, focusing on stress-strain behavior and the application of elastic models in analytical and numerical methods.
Covers anisotropic elastic materials, examples, and Voigt notation for stress and strain components, emphasizing the compliance matrix for isotropic materials.
