Abstract
Continuum damage mechanics is a mechanical theory for analyzing damage and fracture processes in materials from a continuum mechanics point of view. The present chapter starts with the notion of material damage and that of continuum damage mechanics. Section 1.1 is concerned with the definition of damage, its mechanical aspects observed in different scales, the physical mechanisms of damage development, and its examples encountered in the engineering problems of strength and fracture. In Section 1.2, furthermore, fundamental notion of continuum damage mechanics and of the mechanical procedures of its formulation and applications will be discussed.
