Advanced Solid Mechanic and Failure of Solids

The course addresses a broad array of vital topics, such as practical aspects of fatigue in engineering materials, theories of fatigue, failure of materials under cyclic loading, practical aspects of creep deformation. Furthermore, it covers other subjects, including deformation of high temperature by dislocation movement and diffusion, how temperature impacts the materials mechanical properties, application of fracture mechanics to engineering applications, and the physics of fracture and fracture mechanics.
