About Dislocation Based Fracture Mechanics
Product Description The dislocation is the basic building block of the crack in an elastic-plastic solid. Fracture mechanics is developed in this text from its dislocation foundation. It is the only text to do so. It is written for the graduate student and the new investigator entering the fracture field as well as the experienced scientist who has not used the dislocation approach. The dislocation mechanics needed to find the dislocation density fields of crack tip plastic zones is developed in detail. All known dislocation based solutions are given for the three types of cracks in elastic-plastic solids are given. Review "This is an excellent scholarly work which fills a tremendous need for such a book. It is so well-written that it can serve as a textbook, reference material, and valuable historical document ... This reviewer wholeheartedly recommends 'Dislocation Based Fracture Mechanics' for purchase by students, researchers, scholars, scientists, geologists, geophysicists, glaciologists, and engineers particularly in the areas of civil, structural, foundation, transportation, mechanical, electrical, metallurgical, agricultural, and aeronautical engineering, who need a good understanding of the subject of infracture mechanics in order to solve practical field problems associated with crack initiation, propagation, and prevention. Every library should also purchase copies of this superb book." -- Appl. Mech. Rev., 1996 its presentation is clear enough to be accessible to graduate students, and is highly recommended to researchers and practicing engineers. -- Mathematical Abstracts, 2002 About the Author Johannes (Hans) Weertman is Walter P. Murphy Professor of Materials Science and Engineering in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Northwestern University.
