Abstract

This presentation introduces fracture behavior of materials with historical context.  Several common fracture mechanisms are introduced in the context of fracture surfaces.   We also provide examples of common testing configurations relevant to the companion lab exercise. 

The companion lab exercise that corresponds to this lecture is here.
