Lecture
Elastic Plastic Fracture Mechanics
Description
This lecture covers the limitations of linear elastic fracture mechanics and introduces the concept of elastic plastic fracture mechanics, which is crucial for materials with extensive plasticity. The instructor explains the criteria for determining the J-integral in non-linear elastic specimens and the energy balance for crack advance. The lecture also discusses the experimental 'R curve' analysis and the path independence of the J-integral, providing insights into the fracture behavior of materials.
