Fracture of brittle solids - by Brian Lawn
fracture mechanics
Dynamic fracture mechanics
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.
Stress Corrosion
A glass may withstand a static load for a long time (days, weeks, or years) and then, without warning, breaks suddenly. Here are salient empirical observations:
Atomistic Modeling of Materials Failure by M. J. Buehler
This book is an introduction to molecular and atomistic modeling techniques applied to solid deformation and fracture. Focusing on various brittle, ductile and geometrically confined materials, this book includes computational methods at the atomistic scale, and describes how these techniques can be used to model the dynamics of crack, dislocations and other deformation mechanisms.
Elementary Engineering Fracture Mechanics by David Broek
I think this book is a good complement to the course Fracture Mechanics ES 247. There are several reasons:
Fatigue
These notes were prepared when I taught fracture mechanics in 2010, and were updated when I taught the course again in 2014.
Notes on other parts of the course are also online.
