Outline of lecture
Linear Fracture Mechanics (LFM) deals with the strength of materials with a crack in a linear elastic deformation body. LFM is applicable under a small scale yielding condition, and LFM is useful for mechanical structural designs. Non-destructive inspection is also introduced in this class.
Purpose of lecture
The present course provides basic understanding of fracture of mechanical engineering structures.
The course deals with the basic mechanics of materials from the definitions of stress and strain in the
first lecture, and it includes outline of the linear fracture mechanics under the small scale yielding
condition. The linear fracture mechanics is indispensable for mechanical engineers to prevent
failures due to crack growth. Applicants should have attended the Advanced Course of Mechanics of
Materials.
