Compiled by J.F. Knott and P.A. Withey, this book focuses on the significant advancements in fracture mechanics, evolving from a theoretical foundation to practical applications in component design, service inspection, and safe material usage. The primary objective of this publication is to introduce readers to the concepts of fracture mechanics through a series of WORKED EXAMPLES, demonstrating how fracture toughness values are derived and how this information can be used to prevent failures in service. The book is designed not for experts in fracture mechanics but for those who wish to learn about the subject and its applications.
