Fracture Mechanics
Ultimately and at different scales, fracture is the leading cause of material failures. As continuum mechanics by its very essence can not capture fracture, a different branch of mechanics addresses this complex failure mode.
Hence, this chapter will be devoted to the fundamentals of theoretical fracture mechanics. Coverage will be substantially more expansive than the previous chapter on plasticity as it is, to some extent, more complex to tackle fracture of both brittle and quasi-brittle (such as concrete) materials. Both linear and nonlinear fracture mechanics will be addressed.
