What are the goals of fracture mechanics?
describe the fracture
define fracture parameters
assess reliable testing methods
establish safety criteria
How is the bond force between atoms calculated?
How can the tension to crack a bond be calculated using the surface energy?
What is the relation between surface energy, youngs modulus and equilibrium spacing? How does that influence the Orowan equation?
How can the bond force between atoms be calculated?
How can the bond stiffness be calcullated?
How can the cohesive stress equation be derivated qualitatively?
Multiplying both sides of this equation by the number of bonds per unit area (n/A) and the gage length (x0) converts K to Young’s modulus, E, and FR to the cohesive stress, sR. Solving for sR gives
lambda=fitting constant for sinus equation of energy level
