Explores fracture mechanics, crack growth, and the weakest link theory, emphasizing the statistical distribution of crack sizes and the significance of the largest crack in material failure.
Covers Classical Laminate Theory for solving mechanics problems with multiple material layers, discussing displacements, strains, stresses, and equilibrium.
Explores crack growth, stress intensity factors, and fracture mechanics in materials, emphasizing energy considerations and critical stress intensity for crack growth onset.
Covers the fundamental concepts of structural mechanics, including materials properties, stress and strain, equilibrium of forces and moments, and elementary structures.
Covers the basics of structural mechanics, including forces, materials behavior, and failure mechanisms, along with advanced topics and a historical overview.
