Featuring the latest research, Damage Mechanics presents the principles of continuum damage mechanics, including isotropic and anisotropic theories. The book also covers both elastic and elasto-plastic damage analyses, damage tensors, and the kinematics of finite elasto-plastic damage analysis. Many examples and problems illustrate the text, supplemented by a review of basic concepts such as the theory of elasticity, the theory of plasticity, ...

This book contains recent advances on theory of mixtures in geo-mechanics. It presents all the necessary material that is published and scattered in different journals. The book presents both basic principles and advanced topics. It includes a chapter on comparison of theoretical and experimental results. The first part of the book deals with the historic reviews, hydro-mechanics of geo-materials, and the fundamental theory of mixtures. The se...

This book resulted from a series of lecture notes presented in CISM, Udine in July 7 -11, 2008. The papers inform about recent advances in continuum damage mechanics for both metals and metal matrix composites as well as the micromechanics of localization in inelastic solids. Also many of the different constitutive damage models that have recently appeared in the literature and the different approaches to this topic are presented, making them ...

This book presents a finite element model for the elasto-plastic and damage analysis of thin and thick shells. Linear elastic, inelastic and softening behaviors caused by damage in structural shells, as well as large rotations are investigated. The textbook is addressed to graduate students and researchers in civil, mechanical and aerospace engineering as well material scientists and applied mechanicians. The formulation presented here was dev...
