This review is from: Cracks and Fracture (Hardcover)
Even though this book is primarily intended for researchers and grad students, it leaves very little of the topic of fracture mechanics untouched. All the way from calculating relatively simple K factors to the intricate J- and P- Integrals, the book provides the equations that are needed for almost any research project, especially in the Elastic-Plastic region.

It addresses 'arrays of cracks', which is quite unusual, as well as other fairly rare geometric crack situations that are rather difficult to find in the literature.

One other interesting thing to note is the substantial amount of material devoted to the treatment of Mode II and Mode III cracks, not found in many other texts since Mode I is the predominate crack propogation mode in industry.

I would highly recommend it for any researcher in the field, but generally not recommend it for general practice limited to LEFM (Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics).
