With its combination of practicality, readability, and rigor that is characteristic of any truly authoritative reference and text, Fracture Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications quickly established itself as the most comprehensive guide to fracture mechanics available. It has been adopted by more than 100 universities and embraced by thousands of professional engineers worldwide. Now in its third edition, the book continues to raise the bar in both scope and coverage. It encompasses theory and applications, linear and nonlinear fracture mechanics, solid mechanics, and materials science with a unified, balanced, and in-depth approach.

Reflecting the many advances made in the decade since the previous edition came about, this indispensable Third Edition now includes:

  • A new chapter on environmental cracking
  • Expanded coverage of weight functions
  • New material on toughness test methods
  • New problems at the end of the book
  • New material on the failure assessment diagram (FAD) method
  • Expanded and updated coverage of crack closure and variable-amplitude fatigue
  • Updated solutions manual

    In addition to these enhancements, Fracture Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications, Third Edition also includes detailed mathematical derivations in appendices at the end of applicable chapters; recent developments in laboratory testing, application to structures, and computational methods; coverage of micromechanisms of fracture; and more than 400 illustrations. This reference continues to be a necessity on the desk of anyone involved with fracture mechanics.

4.0 out of 5 stars very good book, could be a great book

I think that this book is a must have for anyone in the field of fracture and fatigue. I own all three editions and I am mostly happy with all of them. That being said there are some major drawbacks that should be recognized.

1. As others have pointed out there are many typos in the equations. I learned of some of these typos the hard way. I had to go back to the original journal papers in some cases to find the correct form of the equations...after much wasted time and confusion.
2. Each edition seems to drop information on certain topics.
3. This book is not a stand alone book, which is ok, but the author should do a better job of pointing the reader to the most useful references and noting where he is skipping steps. This point is especially important to recognize when working through the derivations of K, J and CTOD.

Too much dispersive. Not consequential. the arguments seem to fall one after the other without following a logical path.

Con un buon mix di intuitività e di rigore matematico si presenta come un ottimo compendio sulla meccanica della frattura. Probabilmente il testo più chiaro in commercio

One of the best book ever about fracture mechanics. Clear, concise, well structured, comprehensive and with plenty of pictures. Suitable for both undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers. The appendixes at the end of the chapters collect the mathematical derivations which allow for a more fluid reading of the book.
