"Fracture Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications encompasses theory and applications, linear and nonlinear fracture mechanics, solid mechanics, and materials science with a unified, balanced, and in-depth approach." "Fracture Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications, Third Edition also includes detailed mathematical derivations in appendices at the end of applicable chapters; recent developments in laboratory testing, application to structures, and computational methods; coverage of micromechanisms of fracture; and more than 400 graphs, schematics, drawings, and photographs. This reference continues to be a necessity on the desk of anyone involved with fracture mechanics."--BOOK JACKET
