Fracture mechanics is the study of how cracks form and propogate through variuos materials. Often times during design an engineer will assume a crack in the material to or use x-ray to determine the size of cracks in the material. Fracture mechanics approaches require that an initial crack size be known or assumed. For components with imperfections or defects (such as welding porosities, inclusions and casting defects, etc.) an initial crack size may be known.
What else can I help you with?
What is the differences between brittle and ductile fracture?
In brittle fracture, no apparent plastic deformation takes place before fracture. In ductile fracture, extensive plastic deformation (necking) takes place before fracture.
What is a ductile fracture?
Capable of being hammered out thin, as certain metals; malleable. Can be made into wires.
1 What important property of fluids necessitated the development of fluid mechanics as an area of science separate from standard mechanics?
Fluid's lack of rigidity contributed to scientist's creation of the area of fluid mechanics.
What is mechanical sensors?
sensors for mechanics
Is codes for soil mechanics?
yes

What is fracture in mechanics?
Fracture in Mechanics is the event in which an object loses material continuity (it splits in more than one piece) due to the application of a stress load. Said stress load has a consequence in strain, that with the proper values, can induce an object to "fail" in an event called fracture.
