Course Info.:

This course will expose graduate students to advanced topics and state-of-the-art methods of fracture mechanics in modern engineering materials and structures. Major topics include: review of linear-elastic fracture; fracture of functionally graded materials; elastic-plastic fracture and constraint effects; creep deformation and fracture; and micro- and nano-structural aspects of fatigue and fracture. Applications from mechanical, structural, and aerospace engineering and material science will be presented to illustrate methods of analysis and demonstrate the usefulness of advanced fracture-mechanics concepts in engineering and science.
