Here is an e-book on Engineering Fracture Mechanics ; you can also download a demo version, the preface, and other related stuff from the page. The idea of the book (as described in the page) sounds interesting:
This is the last homework set for ES 242r / ENGM 940
A very breif introduction to aspects of dynamic fracture mechanics.
An overview of several approaches to computational fracture mechanics for ductile structural metals.
In this lecture I'll describe a recent PhD Thesis by Zhen Zhang.
This set is related to buckle-driven delamination, crack bridging, and interfacial cracks.
Matrix cracking in composites and the competition between penetration and deflection when a crack approaches an interface, and the competition between advance in the interface and kinking out of the interface for an interface crack.
G. Bao and Z. Suo, " Remarks on crack-bridging concepts," Applied Mechanics Review. 45, 355-366 (1992).
I was working on the problem set for and on question 16 and 17 refers to a paper by Charalmbides, Lund, Evans and McMeeking entitled
