This book, based on the analogy between contact mechanics and fracture mechanics proposed by the author twenty years ago, starts with a treatment of the surface energy and tension of solids and surface thermodynamics. The essential concepts of fracture mechanics are presented with emphasis on the thermodynamic aspects. Readers will find complete analytical results and detailed calculations for cracks submitted to pressure distributions and the Dugdale model. Contact mechanics and the contact and adherence of rough solids are also covered.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A compendium of material from his papers,
By
This review is from: Contact, Adhesion and Rupture of Elastic Solids (Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences) (Hardcover)
His research was excellent. This book is about some of his research.
I needed it specifically for examining his transition model theory and this book met and exceeded those requirements. Some of the material and figures are directly from his papers with some slightly different presentations. You might not need this if you alread possess the individual articles. But this is an extremely good book which presents the perspective and insight into the years before JKR, between JKR and DMT and till MD and I am sure the acronyms are self explanatory. On the whole, this is a highly specialized book meant for researchers into phenomena involving elastic contact and friction. It is a part of the trio of K L Johnson's Contact mechanics and Israelachvili's Intermolecular and surfaces forces books.
