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 computational modeling of realistic microstructures, microstructure characterization, and finite element analysis for studying mechanical behavior.
Covers the application of the plasticity condition in a plate with a hole and the estimation of the plastic zone region using the elastic stress field.
Explores the evolution of hardening and plastic strain in materials, emphasizing the relationship between stress increments and plastic strains.
