1.
Outline
Generally, apparatus and structures are used under different loading conditions and various environments. Therefore, when designing them, it is necessary to consider the possibility of failure in different ways.
Throughout the lectures, the different types of fracture such as yielding, brittle fracture, fatigue, creep, corrosion, and the interaction among them, are discussed, mainly using metallic materials as examples. The unified concept on fracture, which pays attention to metals, ceramics, polymers and composite materials is discussed. For these materials, the common features and differences of characteristics of fractures are explained.


2.
Objectives
“Strength and fracture of materials” is the learning about the fracture of materials. Strength of materials is a key issue for designing apparatus and structures. Problems of failure and faulty apparatus not only cause large economic loss, but may affect human life. It is indispensable to an engineer to design structures and apparatus in which such accidents do not occur.
In this course, I discuss the basic concept of the strength and fracture of materials, in which the influences of the microstructure in an atom-nano measure, and the macroscopic factors, such as size of the specimen and shape of components, are fused non-linearly. Moreover, a unified concept of strength and fracture of materials, which can be applied to various classes of materials, are discussed. The lectures aim to make the student aware of interdisciplinary approach to strength and fracture of materials.

Requirements (Assignments)
- Please read the reference books and the textbooks of the courses in the undergraduate course to understand the basis of the subject.
- Since, in this subject, either "material science" or the "strength of materials" are related, it is desirable for students to learn these subjects in the undergraduate course.
