Concerned with the fundamental concepts and methods of fracture
mechanics and micromechanics, Fracture Mechanics primarily focuses
on the mechanical description of fracture processes; however,
material specific aspects are also discussed.
The presentation of continuum mechanical and phenomenological
foundations is followed by an introduction into classical failure
hypotheses. A major part of the book is devoted to linear elastic
and elastic-plastic fracture mechanics. Further subjects are creep
fracture, dynamic fracture mechanics, damage mechanics,
probabilistic fracture mechanics, failure of thin films and
fracture of piezoelectric materials. The book also contains an
extensive introduction into micromechanics. Self-contained and
well-illustrated, this text serves as a graduate-level text and
reference.
The 2nd revised edition has been expanded and complemented by
numerous problems and figures. "
