Continuous Damage of Brittle Solids

  • Chapter
Continuum Damage Mechanics Theory and Application

Part of the book series: International Centre for Mechanical Sciences ((CISM,volume 295))

Abstract

Some elastic solids fail not through macro — fracture or plastic flow, but rather through growth of micro — defects. Modelling of such processes occurs through theories of continuous damage mechanics. Thermodynamic aspects of one such theory are discussed in this paper, focussing on limitations of admissible processes, energy dissipation in a loading — unloading cycle and the number of cycles leading to failure.
