Features: This book consists of three parts. The first part briefly introduces the key theoretical points and problem-solving methods of linear elastic mechanics, laying the foundation for subsequent stress analysis and solution during fracture, as well as the establishment of fundamental models and concepts of fracture. The second part, following the development of fracture mechanics, systematically introduces the thought processes behind the establishment of fundamental concepts in linear elastic and elastoplastic fracture mechanics. It discusses evaluation criteria for material fracture and their physical significance, performance testing methods, and application backgrounds, enabling readers to gain a more comprehensive understanding of fracture mechanics problems. The third part starts from the macroscopic phenomena of material fracture and discusses the intrinsic connection between material structural defects and fracture from a microscopic perspective. It introduces microscopic models of crack initiation during fracture and explores the laws of crack propagation under different conditions, helping readers grasp the physical image of the fracture process. Although the book covers a substantial amount of content, its overall organization is coherent and progresses from simple to complex, demonstrating strong systematicity. This book can serve as a teaching text for master's students in the field of materials science and can also be used as a reference for material engineering professionals and researchers in materials science.
