A Course on Damage Mechanics

A Course on Damage Mechanics by Jean Lemaitre.

This well-established textbook teaches macroscopic modeling for design, processing, testing, and control of mechanical components in engineering. The first chapter deals with the phenomenology of damage; the second couples damage to strains and covers the three-dimensional situation; the third is de...
