Damage Mechanics in Engineering Materials Feature

This book contains thirty peer-reviewed papers that are based on the presentations made at the symposium on "Damage Mechanics in Engineering Materials" on the occasion of the Joint ASME/ASCE/SES Mechanics Conference (McNU97), held in Evanston, Illinois, June 28-July 2, 1997. The key area of discussion was on the constitutive modeling of damage mechanics in engineering materials encompassing the following topics: macromechanics/micromechanical constitutive modeling, experimental procedures, numerical modeling, inelastic behavior, interfaces, damage, fracture, failure, computational methods.

The book is divided into six parts:

Study of damage mechanics. Localization and damage. Damage in brittle materials. Damage in metals and metal matrix composites. Computational aspects of damage models. Damage in polymers and elastomers.

Damage Mechanics Feature

This book provides the first truly comprehensive study of damage mechanics. All concepts are carefully identified and defined in micro- and macroscopic scales. In terms of the methods and observation scales, the main part of the book is divided into three chapters. These chapters consider the stochastic models applied to atomistic scale, micromechanical models (for arbitary concentrations of defects) on microscopic scale and continuum models on the macroscopic scale. It is intended for people who are doing or planning to do research in the mechanics and material science aspects of brittle deformation of solids with heterogeneous microstructure.

Fracture and Damage in Quasibrittle Structures: Experiment, modeling and computation Feature

Understanding of failure of quasibrittle materials is of paramount importance in many engineering fields. This subject has become a broad and important field of considerable mathematical complexity, with many competing models and unsolved problems. Attention in this volume focuses on concrete, rock, masonry, toughened ceramics, ice and other quasibrittle materials characterized by the development of large zones of cracking or other microstructural damage, and its localization into major fractures.

Fracture and Damage of Composites (Advances in Fracture Mechanics) Feature

Composites offer great promise as light and strong materials whose uses are no longer confined to high performance structures. Their major advantages, which are true for almost all composites, are increased stiffness with respect to homogeneous materials and in increased strength to crack extension. However, their application is still limited by the lack of complete knowledge about their strength under different load conditions and the prediction of the damage evolution and the way cracks develop in these materials is still an important topic of research. This book contains recent developments and results in composite materials science, including contributions from well-known researchers in this specialist field. Both polymeric and metal matrix composites are included and investigated with experimental, analytical and numerical analyses.
