This book, which comprises contributions from researchers in 20 countries, was designed to be a forum within which to promote and exchange the latest experimental and theoretical research work on structural integrity, durability and failure analysis; with the emphasis being placed on fracture and damage mechanics.
The collection covers a wide range of topics: Fracture Mechanics; Fatigue; Failure Analysis; Corrosion; Creep; Non-linear Problems; Dynamic Fracture; Residual Stress; Environmental Effects; Crack Propagation; Repair Techniques; Composite Materials; Ceramics & Polymers; Metallic Materials; Concrete; Probabilistic Aspects; Risk Analysis; Damage Tolerance; Fracture Control; Computational Methods; Microstructural & Micro-mechanical Modelling.
These two volumes therefore constitute an up-to-date overview of the latest developments made in the field of fracture and damage mechanics. It will be essential reading material for anyone having an interest in this key research field.
