Derived from the invited IUTAM Symposium in September 1993, this
volume's contributions discuss recent advances in fracture
mechanics, studies of concrete, rock, ceramics and other brittle
disordered materials at micro and structural levels. It draws
together research and new applications in continuum, damage and
fracture mechanics approaches.
Proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium on Structural Optimization,
Melbourne, Australia, February 9-13, 1988
This volume constitutes the Proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium on
"Analytical and Computational Fracture Mechanics of Non-homogeneous
Materials," held in Cardiff from 18th to 22nd June 2001. The
Symposium was convened to address and place on record topical
issues in analytical and computational aspects of the fracture of
non-homogeneous materials as they are approached by specialists in
mechanics, materials science and related fields. The expertise
represented in the Symposium was accordingly very wide, and many of
the world's greatest authorities in their respective fields
participated. Given the extensive range and scale of
non-homogeneous materials, it had to be focussed to enhance the
quality and impact of the Symposium. The range of non-homogeneous
materials was limited to those that are inhomogeneous at the
macroscopic level and/or exhibit strain softening. The issues of
micro to macro scaling were not excluded even within this
restricted range which covered materials such as rock, concrete,
ceramics and composites on the one hand, and, on the other, those
metallic materials whose ductile fracture is strongly influenced by
the presence of inhomogeneities. The Symposium remained focussed on
fundamental research issues of practical significance. These issues
have many common features among seemingly disparate non-homogeneous
materials.
