Title: Advances in Damage Mechanics : Metals and Metal Matrix Composites with an Introduction to Fabric Tensors, 2nd Edition Author: George Z. Voyiadjis, Peter I. Kattan ISBN: 0080446884 / 9780080446882 Format: Hard Cover Pages: 740 Publisher: Elsevier Year: 2006 Availability: In Stock
Description
Contents
The book presents the principles of Damage Mechanics along with the latest research findings. Both isotropic and anisotropic damage mechanisms are presented. Various damage models are presented coupled with elastic and elasto-plastic behavior. The book includes two chapters that are solely dedicated to experimental investigations conducted by the authors. In its last chapter, the book presents experimental data for damage in composite materials that appear in the literature for the first time.
