      I'm Francisco Thiago S. Aragao. Please call me Thiago. I'm currently enrolled at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln Civil Enginering Master's Program under the advisory of Dr. Yong-Rak Kim. I have also a minor course in Engineering Mechanics. Below I'm answering the questions from the Problem 1 of Fracture Mechanics' Assignment 1.

Thank you very much for taking this course. Some of the assignments of
the course will be done on iMechanica. The main purposes of these assignments are

  • to expose students to resources for life-long learning, and
  • to facilitate interactions among students who are taking the course from three campuses (Harvard, MIT and Nebraska).

Please take the following quick steps now.
