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.
