Intended for engineers from a variety of disciplines dealing with structural materials, this text describes the current state of knowledge. It begins by describing the fracture process at the two extremes of scale: first in the context of atomic structures, then in terms of a continuous elastic medium. Treating the fracture process in increasingly sophisticated ways, the book then considers plastic corrections and the procedures for measuring the toughness of materials. Practical considerations are then discussed, including crack propagation, geometry dependence, flaw density, mechanisms of failure by cleavage, the ductile-brittle transition, and continuum damage mechanics. The whole is rounded off with discussions of generalised plasticity and the link between the microscopic and macroscopic aspects, and problems are provided at the end of each chapter.

First Sentence:
If we consider an unfaulted material with a crystalline structure, such as the simple cubic cell, which is characterised on the dimensional scale by the lattice parameter a0 of the order of 0.5 nm, the possibilities of ordered and bulk deformation (Fig. 1.1), at temperatures that are low compared to the melting point, correspond to the answer to the two components of a force acting on a reticular or crystallographic plane: a stress normal to this plane and a shear stress parallel to this plane.
