Analytical Modeling of the Mechanics of Nucleation and Growth of Cracks
With the traditional fracture mechanics approaches, an initial crack and self-similar progression of cracks are assumed. In this treatise, theoretical and numerical tools are developed to mathematically describe non-self-similar progression of cracks without specifying an initial crack. A cohesive-d...
