Aims & Scope✦ Compiled from public sources

Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics covers the theoretical, applied, and numerical aspects of cracking phenomena in materials, components, and structures at micro, meso, and macroscopic levels. It addresses the cracking and mechanical behavior of systems under time-independent and time-dependent external forces, including computational mechanics and modeling of materials and structures with stress/strain raisers.
