ES247: Fracture Mechanics, Fundamentals and Applications. 3rd Edition

Submitted by Kejie Zhao on

The book I recommend for reading is Fracture mechanics: fundamentals and applications, by T.L.Anderson, 3rd edition, 2005. I first saw this book on the top list of reading materials of Brown U. When I have it I found so pleasent to read through it. Here is the short-list of its content

Chapter 1: Introduction: History and overview

Chapter 2:Fundamental concepts: linear elastic fracture mechanics

Chapter 3: Elastic-plastic mechanics

Chapter 4: Dynamic and time-dependent fracture

Chapter 5: Material behavior: Fracture mechanics in metals

Dynamic fracture mechanics

Submitted by Cai Shengqiang on

Dynamic fracture mechanics is written by a very well known professro-L B Freund. Honestly, I have only read a small part of the book. However, I recommend this book because after reading this book, you can learn many things which haven't be touched in the class, as stated by Zhigang in the beginning of the class.

thermal radiation analysis in ansys workbench 12

Submitted by whyakhan on

Hello everybody,

I have been assigned the task of performing thermal analysis of electronic components that involve conduction and radiation only and determine the temperature distribution on them. I am doing this in ansys workbench 12. Since I am doing thermal analysis for the first time so having problems.

Does anybody have tutorials related to performing thermal analysis in ansys workbench. Please share.

Thanks in advance.
