It is recommended."" - Applied Mechanics ReviewOne of the central concerns of engineering is the failure of materials. Addressing this concern, fracture mechanics - an interdisciplinary subject spanning mechanical, civil, and materials engineering, applied mathematics, and physics - predicts the conditions under which such failure will occur due to crack growth.
