Fracture Mechanics Design Handbook.

Abstract

This design manual is directed toward the needs of practicing engineers and stress analysts. Basic information on the history, philosophy, and theory of fracture mechanics including such topics as common definitions, elastic solutions, plastic zone effects, and both plane strain and plane stress fracture toughness testing are included. However, the major emphasis is placed on applications. A large number of the most applicable solutions presently available for use in fracture mechanics are documented with details covering their application and accuracy. (Author)
