'Continuum Damage Mechanics and Numerical Applications' presents a systematicdevelopment of the theory of Continuum Damage Mechanics and its numerical engineering applications using a unified form of the mathematical formulations inanisotropic and isotropic damage models. The theoretical framework is based on the thermodynamic theory of energy and material dissipation and is describedby a set of fundamental formulations of constitutive equations of damaged materials, development equations of the damaged state, and evolution equations ofmicro-structures. According to concepts of damage-dissipation of the materialstate and effective evolution of material properties, all these advanced equations, which take nonsymmetrized effects of damage aspects into account, are developed and modified from the traditional general failure models so they are more easily applied and verified in a wide range of engineering practices by experimental testing. Dr. Wohua Zhang is a Professor at Engineering Mechanics Research Center in Zhejiang University of China. Dr. Yuanqiang Cai is a Professor at Department of Civil Engineering in Zhejiang University of China. Uniformly expresses formulations in the matrix form for both anisotropic and isotropic damage models Gives many practical applications for the developed theory by offering numerical analyses in different topical areas of engineering Equations are developed from the traditional general failure models so they are easilyapplied and verified in a wide range of engineering practices INDICE: Introduction.- Review of Damage Mechanics.- Basis of Isotropic Damage Mechanics.- Isotropic Elasto-Plastic Damage Mechanics.- Basis of Anisotropic Damage Mechanics.- Brittle Damage Mechanics of Rock Mass.- Anisotropic Elasto-Plastic Damage Mechanics.- Theory of Visco-Elasto-Plastic Damage Mechanics.- Dynamic Damage Problems of Damaged Materials.
