Damage Mechanics with Finite Elements: Practical Applications with Computer Tools

by P.I. Kattan, George Z. Voyiadjis, G.Z. Voyiadjis

Book Overview

The major goal of this book is to present the implementation of some damage models with finite elements. The damage models are based on the principles of continuum damage mechanics and the effective stress concept. Several books have appeared recently on damage mechanics but are mostly theoretical in nature. Alternatively, this book provides a complete finite element program that includes the effects of damage. The book consists of two parts. Part...
