Overview
- Offers a new and unified view of fracture evolution in a brittle solid
- Treats crack evolution from its initiation all the way to the failure of the sample
- Models both crack initiation, crack path and crack extension for arbitrary geometries and loads
- Presents original results, both from a theoretical and from a numerical standpoint
- Offers a unified treatment of fracture and fatigue
