frakturmekaniske
Frakturmekaniske, commonly known in English as fracture mechanics, is a field in materials science and mechanical engineering that analyzes the initiation and propagation of cracks in materials and the conditions under which those cracks lead to failure. The central aim is to predict when a structure will fail due to crack growth and to guide designs that prevent such failures.
Core concepts include the Griffith criterion, which links crack growth to energy balance, and the development
Methods in fracture mechanics combine experiments and modeling. Experimental tests such as compact tension (CT) and
Applications span aerospace, automotive, civil infrastructure, and energy sectors, where reliability and safety depend on understanding
