Deformation and Fracture in Materials Advances in Experimental and Numerical Studies

"This book provides basics of deformation and fracture in materials and the current state-of-the-art on experimental and numerical/theoretical methods including data driven approach in deformation and fracture study of materials. The blend of experimental test methods, and numerical techniques to study the deformation and fracture in materials is discussed. In addition, the application of data driven approaches in predicting material performance in different types of loading and loading environment is illustrated as well. Features: Includes clear insight on deformation and fracture in materials with clear explanations of mechanics and defects relating to them. Provides effective treatment of modern numerical simulation methods. Explores application of data driven approaches such as AI, ML, and Computer Vision. Reviews simple and basic experimental techniques to understand the concepts of deformations and fracture in materials. Details modeling and simulation strategies of mechanics of materials at different scales over. This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in fracture mechanics, finite element methods, and materials science"--
