Description
Cracks and Fracture consists of nine chapters in logical sequence. In two introductory chapters, physical processes in
the vicinity of the crack edge are discussed and the fracture process is described. Chapter 3 develops general basic concepts and relations
in crack mechanics, such as path independent integrals, stress intensity factors and energy flux into the crack edge region. Chapters
4-7 deal with elastostatic cracks, stationary or slowly moving elastic-plastic cracks, elastodynamic crack mechanics and elastoplastic
aspects of fracture, including dynamic fracture mechanics. Appendices include general formulae, the basic theory of analytic functions,
introduction to Laplace and Hankel transforms and description of certain basic relations, for instance for stress waves in solids. There
is an extensive bibliography, containing references to both classical and recent work, and a comprehensive index.
Audience
Researchers and graduate students in engineering fields related to the science of mechanics and materials; in geophysics and in mathematical physics.
