Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study Krishnaswa Ravi-Chandar is best known for:

Fracture mechanics
Stress intensity factor
Stress concentration

In his study, Deformation (meteorology) is strongly linked to Oceanography, which falls under the umbrella field of Bar (unit). Krishnaswa Ravi-Chandar regularly ties together related areas like Oceanography in his Deformation (meteorology) studies. Crack tip opening displacement, Crack growth resistance curve and Paris' law are inherently bound to his Crack closure studies. Many of his studies on Crack growth resistance curve involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Crack closure. His work blends Composite material and Brittleness studies together. In his works, he conducts interdisciplinary research on Structural engineering and Buckling. Krishnaswa Ravi-Chandar conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Buckling and Ultimate tensile strength through his research. His Ultimate tensile strength study frequently involves adjacent topics like Tension (geology). In his papers, Krishnaswa Ravi-Chandar integrates diverse fields, such as Mechanics and Classical mechanics.

His most cited work include:

An experimental investigation into dynamic fracture: II. Microstructural aspects (341 citations)
Wrinkling of an elastic sheet under tension (306 citations)
A cohesive zone model for fatigue crack growth in quasibrittle materials (165 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date

His study in the field of Composite material is also linked to topics like Fracture (geology). His Strain rate research extends to Composite material, which is thematically connected. Structural engineering is frequently linked to Crack closure in his study. Crack closure is often connected to Fracture mechanics in his work. As part of his studies on Fracture mechanics, he frequently links adjacent subjects like Structural engineering. He performs multidisciplinary study on Quantum mechanics and Mechanics in his works. His Constitutive equation research extends to the thematically linked field of Finite element method. Constitutive equation and Finite element method are commonly linked in his work. Krishnaswa Ravi-Chandar integrates Thermodynamics and Mechanics in his studies.
