Synopsis

The scope of this book is based on the keynote lectures delivered during the Inter­ national Symposium on Anisotropic Behaviour of Damaged Materials ABDM, held in Krakow-Przegorzaiy, Poland, September 9-11, 2002. The Symposium was organized by the Solid Mechanics Division of the Institute of Mechanics and Machine Design - Cracow University of Technology, under aus­ pices of the Dean of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Cracow University of Technology, Prof. S. Michalowski. The Co-organizers of the ABDM Symposium were: • Martin-Luther-Universitat Halle-Wittenberg, • Centre of Excellence for Advanced Materials and Structures AMAS at the In­ stitute of Fundamental Technological Research of the Polish Academy of Sci­ ences, Warsaw, • Committee of Mechanics of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw. Ten chapters of this book in their present form essentially exceed lectures de­ livered at the Symposium. They should rather be read as not only author's recent achievements in the field, but also the state of art and synthesis done by the lead­ ers in the mechanics community. The mixed formula of the Symposium, namely: the invited lectures and presentations of the original papers by the participants was used. 23 original papers, published in the Symposium Proceedings on CD, exhaust the full scope of the ABDM Symposium. The present book provides a survey of various damage models focusing on the damage response in anisotropic materials as well as damage-induced anisotropy.

About this title

From the Back Cover

The book contains invited lectures of the International Symposium Anisotropic Behaviour of Damaged Materials held in Krakow, Poland, September 9-11 2002. Eminent researchers and world experts in the field of damage mechanics provide recent achievements and the state of the art in the field. The book deals with the anisotropic damage mechanics with micromechanical aspects and thermo-mechanical coupling involved. The book both meets academic interest and practical application demands, especially concerning more advanced anisotropic models of materials and the transition from microscopic to macroscopic level.
