Book Description

Publication Date: November 9, 2001 | ISBN-10: 354042279X | ISBN-13: 978-3540422792 | Edition: 1

This book presents recent research on damage mechanics with finite elements. Particular emphasis is laid on programming the finite element method to incorporate applications of damage mechanics. This textbook for graduates and researchers in civil, mechanical, aerospace engineering and materials science deals with the practical applications of damage mechanics, which have not appeared before in the literature. The book contains research on the separation of voids and cracks in continuum damage mechanics. An educational version of a finite element program for damage mechanics is included on a CD-ROM.

Editorial Reviews

Review

From the reviews of the first edition: "The major goal of the book is to present the implementation of damage models within the finite element method. … The book and the program offer a playful access to damage mechanics with finite elements for students … . As the source code is available, individual modifications are possible which may open creative interactions with the program." (Technische Mechanik, Vol. 22 (3), 2002) "This book presents recent research on damage mechanics with finite elements. … This textbook for graduates and researchers in civil, mechanical, aerospace engineering and materials science deals with the practical applications of damage mechanics, which have not appeared before in the literature." (European Journal of Mechanical and Environmental Engineering, Vol. 47 (1), 2002)
