Engineering Fracture Mechanics Meguid Pdf Download

EFM covers a broad range of topics in fracture mechanics to be of interest and use to both researchers and practitioners. Contributions are welcome which address the fracture behavior of conventional engineering material systems as well as newly emerging material systems. Contributions on developments in the areas of mechanics and materials science strongly related to fracture mechanics are also welcome. Papers on fatigue are welcome if they treat the fatigue process using the methods of fracture mechanics.

In continuum fracture mechanics, it is well established that interactions of micro-cracks and voids with the crack can significantly alter the stress concentration around the crack tip.44,45 However, atomistic studies on multiple crack interaction are quite limited. Liu et al.46 investigated the crack void interaction in α-Fe and Dewapriya et al. showed that lattice trapping of graphene can be achieved by placing holes and multiple cracks around the crack tip.47,48 However, to the best of our knowledge, no such study has been conducted to provide any solution to increase the mechanical properties of silicene nanosheet containing pre-existing crack.
