Frank A. McClintock (January 2, 1921 – February 20, 2011)[1][2] of Concord, Massachusetts, was an American mechanical engineer in material science.
A pioneer in the study of ductile fracture,[3] McClintock was an Emeritus professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Along with Ali S. Argon in 1966 he co-authored a book titled Mechanical Behavior of Materials.
[4] "His professional contributions revolutionized the understanding of the fracture process in engineering practice, by introducing a physical and mechanistic perspective emphasizing the plasticity aspects of ductile fracture and fatigue crack propagation.
