Fracture Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications, Second Edition

Rating:
Summary: Broad overview with not much rigor
Review: This book covers most of the fundamental topics in fracture mechanics. However, it lacks derivations of the equations, and the illustrations are a very crude. This book is probably appropriate for undergraduate level work, but not for graduate level.

Rating:
Summary: a must book for mechanical engineers
Review: This book is a must for mechanical engineers who work in the field of fracture mechanics. It covers the subjects entirely.It is very easy to understand. this book is a fundamental source in fracture mechanics

Rating:
Summary: a great book for mechanical engineering students
Review: when the proff. don't say and discuss the importent topics in the class,this book gives you all what you need to understand what is going on.. note:Anderson is talking aver nice way about HRR-field..but he did not give the exp. proof for this theory...
