Elementary engineering fracture mechanics

Elementary engineering fracture mechanics by D. Broek.

When asked to start teaching a course on engineering fracture mechanics, I realized that a concise textbook, giving a general oversight of the field, did not exist. The explanation is undoubtedly that the subject is still in a stage of early development, and that the methodologies have still a very...
