This module addresses the way that crack formation under fatigue and creep
conditions leads to catastrophic failure of metallic materials. The student will acquire
skills, knowledge and conceptual understanding on:
▪ Crack Behaviour and theoretical modelling
▪ Fracture mechanics and how failure under static conditions and fatigue
conditions can be contained.
▪ How control of material microstructure could be utilised to check behavious
and development of cracks.
▪ Use of modern techniques of fracture mechanics for engineering materials
properties and predicting life cycle of components.
▪ Understanding and analysis of failures
