Explores fracture mechanics, crack growth, and the weakest link theory, emphasizing the statistical distribution of crack sizes and the significance of the largest crack in material failure.
Explores glass microfabrication techniques, including precision machining and ultrasonic machining, focusing on mechanical properties and fracture behavior.
Focuses on velocity boundary layer equations in laminar flow and covers mass and momentum conservation, Navier-Stokes equations, and the Reynolds number.
Covers the fundamental concepts of structural mechanics, including materials properties, stress and strain, equilibrium of forces and moments, and elementary structures.
