Explores crack growth, stress intensity factors, and fracture mechanics in materials, emphasizing energy considerations and critical stress intensity for crack growth onset.
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.
