Are there any online courses for fatigue and fracture?
I have seen many lecture notes on general topics like stress, strain, tensor etc..
But, I am more interested in learning about fatigue and fracture mechanics.
Please let me know, if there are any online courses, for the above given topics.
Thanks,
Namratha.
