The objective of the lab was to learn about fracture mechanics. Fracture mechanics is the branch of structural mechanics that deals with mechanical behaviors of bodies containing flaws. Some important attributes of flaws are size‚ shape‚ and location/orientation relative to the stress field. Procedure: The primary tools for the lab consisted of 10 ceramic tiles and a Instron machine. The Instron machine was initially set up for 3-point bending by a technician. The base and thickness of the tile
