Description - Applications of Continuum Damage Mechanics to Fatigue and Fracture by David L. McDowell
This is the first publication of its kind to introduce state-of-the-art applications of damage mechanics to fatigue and fracture issues in broad classes of materials. 13 peer-reviewed papers from the world's leading researchers in the field cover the following comprehensive areas: Damage Mechanics of Composites - 6 papers deal with varying aspects of modeling damage in composite materials. Distribution Effects and Homogenization - Issues related to the scaling of effects of distributed damage on behavior at a higher length scale are explored in 3 papers. Local Approaches to Fatigue and Fracture - 4 papers present application examples of Continuum Damage Mechanics, including impact damage, particle erosion damage, and fracture of weldments. This is an invaluable resource for researchers in fracture and fatigue, metals and composites designers and fabricators, fatigue and fracture control specialists, professionals involved with pressure vessels and piping, offshore, automotive, and aerospace industries and materials processing.
