Good study material about fracture mechanics

Submitted by Shantanu S. Mulay on

Dear all,

Can anyone suggest a good study material (lecture notes/videos/books) about the fundamentals of fracture mechanics (specially cohesive law for orthotropic materials)?

I checked few books, but they are not very clear. So, I want to go for something that is already tested.

Thanks in advance for the help. 

Shantanu.

It features two congress days and some Users' Meetings of the main technologies developed by the most important worldwide CAE players, such as ANSYS, Flowmaster, MAGMA, Forge, modeFRONTIER and many others.

Tissue strain-rate independence

I have two basic questions for the experts in the soft tissue biomechanics community. 

a) I am interested in the biomechanics of a specific tendon in a specific high-speed deformation. How plausible is it for me to assume strain-rate independence, and therefore, the existence of a strain energy function? In other words, how accurate is the assumption of pseudoelasticity for tendons under high strain-rate? I feel comfortable with the assumption (evidence would help a lot, however) for tissues such as mesentery, skin and, I guess, even muscle.
