Lecture

Time-Dependent Fracture in Materials

Description

This lecture covers the importance of rate effects in predicting long term toughness of materials, focusing on time and temperature dependence, viscoelasticity, and the special case of creep fracture in metals. It also discusses the time-temperature equivalence in viscoelastic polymers and the micromechanisms of fracture in different materials.
