Fracture mechanics and fatigue analysis are essential to understanding the structural performance of real materials. Fracture mechanics is the study of complex stress fields around cracks to determine whether existing cracks are spreading or reversing. Fatigue analysis is the study of fracture behavior under repeated cyclic loads. 

This topic collection is aimed to emphasize the application of fracture mechanics to prevent fractures and fatigue failures in structures. The topics include stress analysis for crack members, resistance forces, fatigue crack initiation, and readiness for service.
