Fracture Mechanics with an Introduction to Micromechanics
Instructor: C. Linder
Course Contents
  • Introduction to solid mechanics: Deformation, stress concept, balance laws, constitutive relations.
  • Brittle fracture: Linear elastic fracture mechanics, crack-tip stress fields, fracture modes, stress intensity factors, Griffiths energy balance, J-Integral, cohesive zone models.
  • Ductile fracture: Models of elastic-plastic behavior, plastic crack-tip fields, small- and large-scale yielding.
  • Introduction to dynamic fracture: Foundations of elastodynamics, dynamic loading of a stationary crack, crack propagation.
  • Introduction to micromechancis: Defects, effective elastic properties, homogenization of elastoplastic materials.
  • Further topics (time permitting): Damage mechanics, probabilistic fracture mechanics, . . .
