Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

The students are able to apply the fracture mechanics to practical examples of designing new industrial units and to analyse the fractures, occurring in the practice. All the informations are based on the american and european textbooks, as well as the practical examples of flaw growth and fractures.

Summary

The history of fracture mechanics, basic theory of strength and deformation, energy and stress approach to the solutions in the fracture mechanics. Fracture toughness testing, standard apprach to the problematics of fracture, calculation of stress intensity factor K for various types and geometry of cracks.Practical fracture mechanics of metals, composites and technical ceramics. Application of fracture mechanics at the solutions to slow crack growth by fatigue, stress corrosion cracking and hydrogen embrittlement. Fractography as the part of the solution of fracture origin at various practical conditions.
