Statistical mechanics – Classical statistics, Fermi-Dirac and Bose – Einstein statistics. Thermodynamics – Laws of thermodynamics, Heat engines, Entropy, Thermodynamic potentials, Phase transitions. The usual textbooks on statistical mechanics start with the microensemble but rather quickly switch to the canonical emsemble introduced by Gibbs. Boltzmann's formula S=In[W(E)] defines the microcanonical ensemble. I studied a particular subject called. Various statistical quantities like order parameters, their cumulants, and response functions, are used to Phase transitions in systems with reduced dimensionality have been of ..

Actually it is neither really about statistics nor about mechanics but rather about the theory of phase transitions. Although system size and disorder are linked in a statistical physics description of fracture, the two parameters have typically been treated separately.
