The Mechanical Engineering Series features graduatetextsandresearchmonographs intendedtoaddresstheneedforinformationincontemporaryareasofmechanical engineering. The series is conceived as a comprehensive one that covers a broad range of concentrations important to mechanical engineering graduate education and re search. We are fortunate to have a distinguished roster ofconsulting editors on the advisory board, each an expert inone the areas ofconcentration. The names ofthe consulting editors are listed onthe facing page ofthis volume. The areas ofconcentration are: applied mechanics; biomechanics; computational mechan ics;dynamicsystemsandcontrol;energetics;mechanicsofmaterials;processing; thermalscience; andtribology.

Austin,Texas FrederickF. Ling VlI Preface This book has been written for engineers from three disciplines: the structural engineerresponsible for the design ofastructure resistant to fracture, the mate rials engineerwho has toproviderelevant mechanicalpropertiesandto improve the properties ofmaterials, and the non-destructive control engineer who must insure that no potentially noxious defect exists after the fracture or will appear duringservice. Thisbookisalsoofinteresttotheengineerassessingthesafetyof structures.Theresearcheralsowillfind someinterestingelementsforguidinghis investigation. Finally, this book isaimed to be aneducational aidforthe teacher andforthestudent. This bookhas the purpose to bea reference withthe state ofthe art is kept as simple as possible, andshould be followed withease. Thusonly basic ideas are givenandthoroughofdebatabledevelopmentshavebeenskipped.Thismonograph fillsalackinFrenchpublicationsonthesubjectduringthelast10years.Notmany referencesaregiven,buttheyarethemostrelevantonesandsometimesarereviews andthuswill befruitful forcomplementarydevelopments. The basic ideas are stated in the form ofsteps from simple to complicated and thus coherently follow the chronological evolution ofthis matter. In order, the microscopic scale is considered before the macroscopic scale since physical understandingofexperimentallyobservedphenomenaprecededunderstandingof the macroscopic behaviour ofstructures. In this last field, the relatively recent contributionoffinite elementanalyses, verysimilarto experimentalobservation, isdetermining. Thereareexercisesattheendofeachchapter. Someoftheseareexplanations; someincludeextensionofthetextmaterial.Answerstoapproximatelyonehalfof theproblemsare givenattherearofthebook. This book is restricted to fracture mechanics in homogeneous and isotropic continuum. Onlymonotoneandstaticloadingisconsidered. Chapter I treatstheprocessoffracture attheatomicscaleandgivestherelated elasticfracture criterionintermsofstress. Chapter 2 is concerned with the application by Griffith ofthis criterion and the nonequivalent energetic criterion in the case ofnotches in a purely elastic continuum. Then, in the case ofcracks, the elastic analysis proposed by Irwin ix x Preface for describing the stress and strain fields in tenns ofthe two equivalent loading parameters,thestressintensityfactor K, andthecrackextensionform Garepre sented.TheloadingparameterT,thetransversestress,isalsogiven.Thisbehaviour correspondstotheelasticrange describedinthe following figure. InChapter3,theapproximateplasticcorrectionunderitsvariousforms, which istobeappliedinorderthattheelasticsolutionsderivedintheprecedingchapter remainsphysicallymeaningful,isdescribed. Thisisthedomainofthesmallscale yieldingregimeshownintheabovefigure. ResultsfromChapters2and3leadto the procedure for measuring and determining the toughness, which is a material constant. Chapter4 exhibits the practical application for a structure with an elastic be haviour as a whole. The material scientist copes with a toughness that may be geometrydependentandscatteredoveramoreorlessextendedrange. The crack propagationisalsoconsidered. The non-destructivecontrol persontakes intoac count an existing initial flaw density with various sizesand defines aprobability ofdetection. Thedesignergathersall these previousdata fordevisingastructure withthe lowestprobabilityoffailureduringthespecifiedlife-timeunderaknown loading. The safteypersonwill verify thatthe state ofthe art has beenrespected ateachstep. In Chapter 5 the mechanisms offailure by cleavage or by tearing related to the microscopic heterogeneousdeformationarepresentedandthe corresponding fracture criteria allow the description ofthe ductile-brittle transition as observed withplainspecimens. Continuumdamagemechanicsisthentreated. InChapter6, where the treatmentofthe generalizedplasticitythat spreads all over the structure is given, the plastic instability related to the limit loading is describedand quantified. In the case ofHollomon material, the stress and strain fields, as determined analytically by Hutchinson, Rice, and Rosengren, are for mulated in terms ofthe J-integral. In the case ofa material with a non-analytic flow behaviour, the approach with reference stressas suggestedbyAinsworth is presented. In Chapter 7 the elastoplastic treatment developed by Shih in the contained yieldingandfullyplasticyieldingranges(seeFig. I)foraRamberg-Osgoodma terial is described and the loading parameters J and Qare brought in. Fortear rapture, thestationaryandthemovingcracksareconsideredsuccessivelyandthe proceduresformeasuringtherelatedtoughness are described. InChapter8,thelinkbetweenmicroscopicandmacroscopicaspectsisdisclosed with the help ofthe results ofChapters 5, 6, and 7. Toughness appears as very dependentonthegeometryandonthemodeofloading.Finally, instabilityduring crackpropagationis treated.
