Mechanics and Mechanisms of Fracture: An Introduction
Chapter 1: Solid Mechanics of Homogeneous Materials

Published:2005
Abstract
This chapter reviews the fundamentals of stress, strain, and deformation and demonstrates some of the tools and techniques used to analyze how materials and structures respond to tension, compression, bending, and shear. It begins with an overview of the behavior of perfectly elastic and plastic materials and viscous substances. It then describes the stress-strain response of two- and three-dimensional solids, explaining how to determine principle stresses and strains using Mohr’s circle and how to derive equivalent stress and strain using the von Mises relationship. It then goes on to analyze the stress state of load-bearing members, pressurized tubes, and...
