This award supports research in analytical solid mechanics, with                principal areas of specialization being fracture mechanics and                  plasticity.  Much of this research is directed toward the development           of the theoretical foundations of non-linear fracture mechanics.  A             principal thrust is the analysis and prediction of stable crack growth          and its transition to catastrophic fracture in elastic-plastic                  materials.  One objective is to develop an approximate analytical               method for assessing how different loadings and specimens affect                near-tip elastic-plastic fields.  Crack growth and instability criteria         are then based on the near-tip fields derived.  An ultimate goal is to          develop analytical criteria capable of predicting ductile crack growth          throughout the range from initial well-contained yielding up through            large-scale and general yielding.
