Talk:Fracture mechanics

message: I have added a link to the recently created wikipedia page of Fracture of Soft materials, to extend the knowledge of fracture mechanics to materials that need a special formulation that diverges from the general one. Please let me know if you have any comments. FernandaFontenele (talk) 18:32, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

message: Coming from the article Alexander Balankin, I was non-plussed at the term "fractal mechanics".  After a moderate amount of Googling book/article references, there must be such a thing.  Is fractal mechanics the same as Fracture mechanics? If so, a redirect is warranted.  However I don't see the term 'fractal' used as such in this article.  Shenme (talk) 07:43, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

message: According to the Alan Arnold Griffith article, his work led directly to changes in engineering design, rather than being ignored as it says here. I have struggled to find support for either viewpoint. Anyone able to help me out? Mikenorton (talk) 16:16, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm adding a paragraph from Prof. Erogan's Fracture Mechanics, Int. J. Solids Struct., 2000, 37, p. 175 in support of the ignored thesis. Bbanerje (talk) 06:30, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Does failure mechanism of fiber-reinforced composites (such as delamination, intralaminar matrix cracking, longitudinal matrix splitting, fiber/matrix debonding, fiber pull-out, and fiber fracture) fall under fracture mechanics? Thanks. Kerina yin (talk) 04:27, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified one external link on Fracture mechanics. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
*Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20061016053324/http://www.cmse.ed.ac.uk/AdvMat45/Griffith20.pdf to http://www.cmse.ed.ac.uk/AdvMat45/Griffith20.pdf
When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

message: I am going to ask my class this semester (Spring 2019) to make improvements to this and related pages.  If anyone has any suggestions for things they'd like to be better explained, or any objections, please let me know.   AlanZehnder (talk) 19:22, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks Alan. Will be interesting to see what your students add on the topic. Bbanerje (talk) 20:24, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

message: I propose merging Concrete fracture analysis into Fracture mechanics. It doesn't seem obvious to me that concrete, specifically, merits its own article; most of the content there seems redundant to content here, and much of the rest seems overspecialized for inclusion in the first place. Moriwen (talk) 14:04, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I slimmed it down to a few sourced statements, see if any seem worth including here.  Perhaps a section on examples related to specific materials?  – SJ + 16:39, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: While I support your edits on removing fluff on the concrete article. You have made things worse. We were having a trial on the future of the article and you have seen fit to take justice into your own hands before the jury has returned. Wikipedia barely functions on a level of group interaction in dealing with articles. Your efforts today have not helped that system. NeedsGlasses (talk) 23:49, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
