Abstract
Chapter 2 addressed general concepts of fracture mechanics, which are the most important aspects for fracture of a structure. This is a field of continuum mechanics, and fracture behaviors are considered from a macroscopic perspective to give a very effective standard in design and application. However, fracture mechanics parameters are sometimes insensitive to microstructures; hence it is more important for material engineers to examine fracture problems from the viewpoint of microstructures. Therefore, this chapter summarizes historical development of concepts and micromechanism on fracture and toughness. In addition, it reviews convenient methods for determining fracture toughness.
