| Sumario: | Fracture mechanics is a relatively new field that combines the study of fractures and mechanical characteristics. It focuses on understanding damage, fractures, and related events. Fracture mechanics helps quantify material properties, stress distribution, crack length, and the processes of crack propagation. Many academics are currently applying fracture mechanics in their analyses. In this study, we have examined the recent research progress (2000–2023) using a scientometric approach to assess its contribution. Our findings indicate a recent slowdown in research growth within this area. There have been a considerable number of publications (620) and a significant body of available research papers (1564). Moreover, a large number of authors (3985) are actively working in this field. International collaboration accounts for nearly 19% of the research output. On average, each document receives about 18.2 citations, reflecting the notable impact in this growing domain. This study serves as a valuable resource for new researchers interested in undertaking research within this field. |
