Linear elastic fracture mechanics
These notes were initially written when I taught fracture mechanics in spring 2010. The title of the notes was then "toughness". In revising the notes for the class in 2014, I have changed the title of the notes to "Linear elastic fracture mechanics".

cylinder with circumferential crack
hi...i m doing 2nd year mtech...i m getting an error while solving circumferential crack in cylinder using ANSYS...while calculating stress intensity factor(SIF) it shows the error as "all crack face nodes do not have the same z value in the currently active coordinate system"...please anyone let me know how to deal this error??

Creation of CRACK in 3D GEOMETRY
I am doing a project in FRACTURE MECHANICS.I completed doing the TASK in 2D geometries now i am facing a problem of creation of CRACK in 3D.. The most important thing is i need to execute in ANSYS only through GUI not through CODING.....PLZZZZZ....HELP ME....... I am attaching the MODEL also ... The model is a PRESSURE VESSEL..... Plz... help ...me......
PLEASE FIND THE ATTACHEMENTS BELOW OF MY MODELS........
Crack-tip field
These notes were initially written when I taught fracture mechanics in spring 2010. The title of the notes was then "stress intensity factor". In revising the notes for the class in 2014, I have changed the title of the notes to "crack-tip field".

Energy release rate. Fracture energy
These notes were prepared when I taught fracture mechanics in 2010, and were updated when I taught the course again in 2014. I hope to start a conversation at a new post entitled Division of Labor.
The Griffith Paper
I wrote these notes on the Griffith (1921) paper for a graduate course on fracture mechanics taught in 2010. The notes were updated when I taught the course in 2014, and were discussed in a new thread titled Inglis (1913) vs. Griffith (1921).
