Linear elastic fracture mechanics

  • Chapter
The Practical Use of Fracture Mechanics

Abstract

In this and the following chapter, the fracture mechanics concepts for the analysis of fracture will be discussed. With these concepts it will be possible to obtain the residual strength diagram and the maximum permissible crack size (Chapter 1). Following the arguments used in Chapter 1, the discussion will be limited to mode I loading (mixed mode loading is considered in Chapter 9).
