THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN EM 388F: Fracture Mechanics Spring 2004 SYLLABUS UNIQUE NUMBERS: 12165 TIME: TTh, 2:00pm - 3:30pm ROOM: WRW 312 INSTRUCTOR: Rui Huang, WRW 117D, 471-7558, [email protected] OFFICE HOURS: Open SYNOPSIS: Fracture involves processes at multiple time and length scales. Fracture Mechanics is an interdisciplinary field of engineering and science requiring understanding from the viewpoints of solid mechanics, material science, physics, and chemistry. This course covers the basic topics including energy balance, crack tip fields, toughness, dissipative processes, and subcritical cracking. Fracture processes are then examined as they occur in some modern technologies, such as advanced ceramics, coatings, composites, and integrated circuits. PREREQUISITES: None. TEXTBOOKS: Not required.
