    Scope and objective of the course:


    The conventional design is based on yield point. However, it has been found that often a structural component fails even when the worst loaded point is well within the yield stress. Thus the design based entirely on avoiding yielding is not adequate for certain cases. Fracture mechanics is based on implicit assumption that there exists a crack in the structural component.
