The mechanical behavior of cracked bodies is typically analyzed using the theory of FM, which came into being as a special methodology when people found that the presence of cracks can obviously weaken the strength of the component and eventually lead to catastrophic failure of the structure. Thus FM deals with the study of how a crack or flaw in a structure propagates under applied loads.
