Synopsis

This book introduces a recent development in the theoretical research into the dynamic behaviour of fracture. This field is really a new trend in mechanical engineering and because of the interdisciplinary applications, physicists and materials scientists are also interested in the subject. The book has a review paper and about 20 high-level contributions. The main benefit to the reader is in showing how the recent development of molecular dynamics and other state-of-the-art methods can really solve the important problem of fracture from the atomic level.

About this title

From the Back Cover

This book is a review of the present theoretical approaches to the understanding of the dynamic behaviour of fracture. Specifically, it collects recent works with a mesoscopic point of view. Starting from the first principles, standard classical molecular dynamics and elastic theoretical treatment are applied to realistic problems. A review article written by Professor Luc Wille, followed by about 20 high-quality papers, each having specific topics, are included.
