Elasticity, plasticity, damage mechanics and cracking are all phenomena that determine the resistance of solids to deformation and fracture. The authors of this book discuss a modern method of mathematically modeling the behavior of macroscopic volume elements. The first three chapters review physical mechanisms at the microstructural level, thermodynamics of irreversible processes, mechanics of continuous media, and the classification of the behavior of solids. The rest of the book is devoted to the modeling of different types of material behavior. In each case the authors present characteristic data for numerous materials, and discuss the physics underlying the phenomena together with methods for the numerical analysis of the resulting equations.

This second, corrected and enlarged edition teaches macroscopic modeling for the design, processing, testing, and control of mechanical components in engineering, and also includes the damage of interfaces and statistical damage analysis with microdefects. The first chapter deals with the phenomenology of damage, while the second couples damage to strains before going on to cover the three-dimensional situation. Chapter 3 is devoted to kinetic laws of damage evolution used by the author to unify many models, and the book is rounded off with several methods for predicting crack initiation. Detailed calculations and many exercises help students to apply the powerful techniques to practical problems in engineering.
