Submitted by Zhigang Suo on

Thank you very much for taking this course. Some of the assignments of
the course will be done on iMechanica. The main purposes of these assignments are

  • to expose students to resources for life-long learning, and
  • to facilitate interactions among students who are taking the course from three campuses (Harvard, MIT and Nebraska).

Please take the following quick steps now.

Notes on Nonlinear Fracture Mechanics

Submitted by John W. Hutchinson on

These are the notes I wrote at the Technical University of Denmark in 1979. Zhigang Suo and I will be using these in the course on fracture and thin film mechanics (ES 242r) this spring (2007). This is a joint course with the University of Nebraska.
