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.
Covers the basics of structural mechanics, including forces, materials behavior, and failure mechanisms, along with advanced topics and a historical overview.
Covers Classical Laminate Theory for solving mechanics problems with multiple material layers, discussing displacements, strains, stresses, and equilibrium.
