This book provides an up-to-date knowledge on theory and experimental results of rate-dependent fracture processes in metallic materials. The objective is to expose the current status of a growing branch of fracture mechanics called generally "Dynamic Fracture".
Dynamic fracture theory (by F. Nilsson)
Experimental fracture dynamics (by J. F. Kalthoff)
Dynamic crack initiation, some experimental methods and modeling (by J. R. Klepaczko)
Microstatistical fracture mechanics in dynamic fracture (by D.R. Curran)
