Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics
Linear elastic fracture mechanics
(LEFM) is a
theoretical framework
used to predict the
propagation of cracks
in materials that are assumed to be linearly elastic. It is essential for understanding failure in
brittle materials
and involves analyzing
stress intensity factors
and
energy release rates
to assess
crack growth
and
structural integrity
.
