Lecture
Fracture Analysis: Energy and Mechanics
Description
This lecture covers the macroscopic energy analysis of fracture, focusing on the unstable crack growth phenomenon and the energy analysis involved. The instructor discusses the mechanics of fracture, total energy, surface energy, and free energy, emphasizing the concept of stored elastic energy. Various geometries and energy release rates are explored, along with the implications of load control and displacement measurement in fracture analysis.
