DYNAMIC FRACTURE MECHANICS

edited by Arun Shukla (University of Rhode Island, USA)

Covering a wide variety of topics in dynamic fracture mechanics, this volume presents state-of-the-art experimental techniques and theoretical analysis on dynamic fracture in standard and exotic materials. Written by world renowned researchers, this valuable compendium contains eleven chapters on crack initiation, crack propagation, crack arrest, crack-stress wave interactions, and experimental, analytical and numerical methods in dynamic fracture mechanics.


Contents:

  • Modeling Dynamic Fracture Using Large-Scale Atomistic Simulations (H-J Gao & M J Buehler)
  • Dynamic Crack Initiation Toughness (D Rittel)
  • The Dynamics of Rapidly Moving Tensile Cracks in Brittle Amorphous Material (J Fineberg)
  • Optical Methods for Dynamic Fracture Mechanics (H V Tippur)
  • On the Use of Strain Gages in Dynamic Fracture (V Parameswaran & A Shukla)
  • Dynamic and Crack Arrest Fracture Toughness (R E Link & R Chona)
  • Dynamic Fracture in Graded Materials (A Shukla & N Jain)
  • Dynamic Fracture Initiation Toughness at Elevated Temperatures with Application to the New Generation of Titanium Aluminides Alloys (M Shazly et al.)
  • Dynamic Fracture of Nanocomposite Materials (A Shukla et al.)


Readership: Researchers, practitioners, and graduate students in fracture mechanics and materials science.
