Modern Solid Mechanics considers phenomena at many levels, ranging
from nano size at atomic scale through the continuum level at
millimeter size to large structures at the tens of meter scale. The
deformation and fracture behavior at these various scales are
inextricably related to interdisciplinary methods derived from
applied mathematics, physics, chemistry, and engineering mechanics.
This book, in honor of James R. Rice, contains articles from his
colleagues and former students that bring these sophisticated
methods to bear on a wide range of problems. Articles discussing
problems of deformation include topics of dislocation mechanics,
second particle effects, plastic yield criterion on porous
materials, hydrogen embrittlement, solid state sintering,
nanophases at surfaces, adhesion and contact mechanics, diffuse
instability in geomaterials, and percolation in metal deformation.
In the fracture area, the topics include: elastic-plastic crack
growth, dynamic fracture, stress intensity and J-integral analysis,
stress-corrosion cracking, and fracture in single crystal,
piezoelectric, composite and cementitious materials. The book will
be a valuable resource for researchers in modern solid mechanics
and can be used as reference or supplementary text in mechanical
and civil engineering, applied mechanics, materials science, and
engineering graduate courses on fracture mechanics, elasticity,
plasticity, mechanics of materials or the application of solid
mechanics to processing, and reliability of life predictions.
