Damage Mechanics: Theory, Computation and Practice; select papers (Applied Mechanics and Materials; Volume 784) by International Conference on Damage Mechanics (2nd: 2015: Troyes, France) Edited by K. Saanouni - 2015

Trans Tech Publications, 2015. Paperback. New Book. Paperback. The 66 papers cover damage mechanics from the perspectives of theoretical modeling, numerical simulation, and applied decision. The topics include the elasto-plastic and damage analysis of trusses subjected to cyclic loading, damage index proposal applied to quasi-fragile materials simulated using the lattice discrete element method, the parametric identification of a damage model for predicting the lifetime of adhesively bonded joints, the influence of residual stresses on the damage of composite laminates under tensile loading, and developing a unified visco-plastic damage model to analyze the crashworthiness of boron steel safety components with tailored microstructures.
