Description
This book provides in a single and unified volume a clear and thorough presentation of the recent advances in continuum damage mechanics
for metals and metal matrix composites. Emphasis is placed on the theoretical formulation of the different constitutive models in this
area, but sections are added to demonstrate the applications of the theory. In addition, some sections contain new material that has
not appeared before in the literature.
The book is divided into three major parts: Part I deals with the scalar formulation and is
limited to the analysis of isotropic damage in materials; Parts II and III deal with the tensor formulation and is applied to general
states of deformation and damage.
The material appearing in this text is limited to plastic deformation and damage in ductile materials
(e.g. metals and metal matrix composites) but excludes many of the recent advances made in creep, brittle fracture, and temperature effects
since the authors feel that these topics require a separate volume for this presentation. Furthermore, the applications presented in
this book are the simplest possible ones and are mainly based on the uniaxial tension test.
Audience
For researchers and graduate students in civil engineering, mechanical engineering, engineering mechanics and materials science.
