Abstract
Classical mechanics, i. e., in physical space is concerned with forces, stresses and strains and attempts to describe the motion and/or deformation of bodies with mass. In this context, the notions of tractions, trajectories, balance and conservation laws, stability of equilibrium etc. are well established. Mechanics in material space (or configurational mechanics) describes the behaviour of defects (e. g., voids, dislocations, cracks) as they move relatively to the material, in which they find themselves. Concerning this change of configuration, similar notions, as given above, are introduced in material space. After providing the elements of configurational mechanics the method is applied to elastic solids with defects and cracks. In particular, the hole-dislocation interaction problem is discussed and the use of path-independent integrals and local failure criteria in fracture mechanics are demonstrated.
