Notes on Nonlinear Fracture Mechanics
Submitted by John W. Hutchinson on Sat, 2007-01-27 19:03.These are the notes I wrote at the Technical University of Denmark in 1979. Zhigang Suo and I will be using these in the course on fracture and thin film mechanics (ES 242r) this spring (2007). This is a joint course with the University of Nebraska.
