Deformation and Fracture

The description covers plastic deformation, fracture mechanics, and the microstructure dependence of crack initiation and propagation. Mechanisms such as ductile tearing, brittle fracture, fatigue, and stress-corrosion cracking are analyzed using experimental and modeling approaches. Key metrics include fracture toughness, crack growth rates, and deformation field distributions.
