Since the development of linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) decades ago, its limitations have been discussed extensively. Methods of manipulation on how to overcome the …
The engineering necessity of fracture mechanics is to improve the empirical data-handbook style and mechanics of materials based design. This book examines the phenomenon of "crack …
