Presenting original results from both theoretical and numerical viewpoints, this text offers a detailed discussion of the variational approach to brittle fractu

This book exposes a number of mathematical models for fracture of growing difficulty. All models are treated in a unified way, based on incremental energy minim

With its combination of practicality, readability, and rigor that is characteristic of any truly authoritative reference and text, Fracture Mechanics: Fundament

This book covers both theoretical and practical aspects of fracture mechanics and integrates materials science with solid mechanics.
