Here is an e-book on Engineering Fracture Mechanics ; you can also download a demo version, the preface, and other related stuff from the page. The idea of the book (as described in the page) sounds interesting:
Hello
I would like to ask if anyone work about geodesic in the left human ventricle. If Yes, I wanted to ask what is the role of the geodesic.
Thank You for all answers.

I teach Materials Science to undergraduate engineering students. We devote 2 or 3 lectures on Fracture where we mainly introduce Griffith's formula and the stress intensity formula. I face a difficulty in reconciling the two which I would lke to present here.
The Griffiths equation gives the fracture stress s for a given crack size c:
s=sqrt[2 E g/ (p c)] (1)
The stress concentration formula gives the max stress at the crack tip as
s=s0 [1+2 sqrt (c/r)] (2)
Hi , I am a working on a project of Continuum Damage mechanics in Composite . But I do not have much idea about Damage mechanics . I am getting lot of diffculites to understand this topic .
So please anyone let me know any basic literature, lecture notes where I can find all basic information about Damage mechanics .
Thanks in Advance,
Regards.
