Weight Function Methods in Fracture Mechanics: Theory and Applications
English | 2022 | ISBN: 9811689601 | 665 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 71 MB
This book provides a systematic and standardized approach based on the authors' over 30 years of research experience with weight function methods, as well as the relevant literature. Fracture mechanics has become an indispensable tool for the design and safe operation of damage-tolerant structures in many important technical areas. The stress intensity factor―the characterizing parameter of the crack tip field―is the foundation of fracture mechanics analysis. The weight function method is a powerful technique for determining stress intensity factors and crack opening displacements for complex load conditions, with remarkable computational efficiency and high accuracy.
