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.[1]"
