Some books on Fracture Mechanics

Fracture Mechanics, Fundamentals and Applications, T.L. Anderson, CRC Press, 3rd Ed., 2004.


This book is in line with what Zhigang is teaching in class. Because Kejie and Widusha have already recommended this book, I would like to introduce you some other books as well as a different approach to cracks and Fracture Mechanics.

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

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

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.

Resistance Curve

These notes were initially written when I taught fracture mechanics in spring 2010, and were updated when I taught the course again in 2014.

You can access all notes for the course on fracture mechanics

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.

Notes on other parts of the course are also online.

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).

Trouble with linear elastic theory of strength

A body is subject to a load. What is the magnitude of the load that will cause the body to fracture? Let us begin with a body made of a glass, which deforms elastically by small strains. A procedure you have been taught before probably goes as follows. You first determine the maximum stress in the body. You then determine the strength of the material. The body is supposed to fracture when the maximum stress in the body reaches the strength of the material.

cohesive zone modeling of interface fracture : comparisons

Hello,

(for completing R. Huang's post : node/7396).

A  few years ago, some colleages (from Italy, UK and Brazil) and I proposed some comparisons of the behavior of cohesize zone models. This was presented during ECCM 2004. The paper is attached.
