This book consists of 9 chapters encompassing both the fundamental
aspects of dynamic fracture mechanics as well as the studies of fracture
mechanics in novel engineering materials. The chapters have been
written by leading authorities in various fields of fracture mechanics
from all over the world. These chapters have been arranged such that the
first five deal with the more basic aspects of fracture including dynamic
crack initiation, crack propagation and crack arrest, and the next four
chapters present the application of dynamic fracture to advanced
engineering materials.
Covering a wide variety of topics in dynamic fracture mechanics, this volume presents state-of-the-art experimental techniques and theoretical analysis on dynamic fracture in standard and exotic materials. Written by world renowned researchers, this valuable compendium contains eleven chapters on crack initiation, crack propagation, crack arrest, crack-stress wave interactions, and experimental, analytical and numerical methods in dynamic fracture mechanics. |
