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.
Explores crack-tip energy dissipation, cohesive zone model analysis, small-scale yielding, stress fields near crack tips, and atomistic stress results.
Explores glass microfabrication techniques, including precision machining and ultrasonic machining, focusing on mechanical properties and fracture behavior.
