Explores crack-tip energy dissipation, cohesive zone model analysis, small-scale yielding, stress fields near crack tips, and atomistic stress results.
Explores fracture mechanics, fatigue testing, and material toughness, emphasizing real-world applications and the importance of understanding critical stress intensity factors.
Introduces fundamental concepts of engineering mechanics, materials classification, and basic mechanics vocabulary, along with the history of mechanics.
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.
