Damage Mechanics
Why Damage Mechanics ? Damage Mechanics presents the underlying principles of continuum damage mechanics along with the latest research. The authors consider both isotropic and anisotropic theories as well as elastic and elasto-plastic damage analyses using a self-contained, easily understood approach. Synopsis Voyiadjis and Kattan (both civil engineering, Louisiana State U.) present the principles of continuous damage mechanics, including their latest research in the field, focusing on the theoretical through descriptions of models and formulations. They start with the necessary mathematical preliminaries, including a Maple tutorial, then describe their work in elasticity theory, isotropic damage mechanics, the kinematic description of damage, anisotropic damage mechanics, plasticity theory, coupled damage plasticity, and close with a description of the kinematics of damage for finite-strain elasto-plastic solids.
