Preface
This book results from the elective course ‘Continuum Damage and Fracture Mechanics’ (3510ENG) held at Griffith University, Australia, in the scope of the ‘Bachelor of Engineering with Honours in Mechanical Engineering’ degree program. This 13-week course comprises 2 hours of lectures and 2 hours of tutorials per week. Owing to the structure of the entire degree program, the course reviewed and extended in the first part, the classical theory of elastic and elasto-plastic material behavior. A thorough knowledge of these two topics is the essential prerequisite to cover the areas of damage and fracture mechanics. Thus, the second part of this course gives a first introduction to the treatment of damage and fracture in the scope of applied mechanics. Where possible, the one-dimensional case is first introduced and then in a following step generalized. This might be different to the more classical approach where first the most general case is derived and then simplified to special cases. In general, the requirements of mathematics are kept low and more challenging topics of damage and fracture mechanics are reserved for other cours
