# Fracture Mechanics And Fatigue Of Materials

## MANE-6460

Fracture mechanics: linear elastic fracture, elastic crack boundary value problems, path independent integrals, stress concentration and crack nucleation, statistical approach to brittle fracture, toughening mechanisms, elastic-plastic fracture mechanics, elements of dynamic fracture. Fatigue of materials: response of materials under cyclic stress, micromechanical aspects of fatigue, phenomenological approach to fatigue life prediction, fracture mechanics approaches, fatigue crack initiation and propagation, variable amplitude, and overstress effects.
