Advances in fracture and damage mechanics X : selected peer revieewed papers from the 10th International Conference on Fracture and Damage Mechanics (FDM 2011), September 19-21, 2011, Dubrovnik, Croatia / monograph

Selected, peer reviewed papers from the 10th International Conference on Fracture and Damage Mechanics (FDM 2011), 19-21 September, 2011, Dubrovnik, Croatia Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).This collection of peer-reviewed papers covers a wide range of topics: Fracture Mechanics, Failure analysis, corrosion, Creep, Non-linear problems, Dynamic Fracture, Residual Stress, Environmental effects, Crack Propagation, Repair Techniques, Composites, Ceramics, Polymers, Metallic and concrete materials, Probabilistic Aspects, Risk Analysis, Damage Tolerance, Fracture Control, Computer Modelling Methods (Finite Elements, Boundary Elements and Meshless), Microstructural and Multiscale Aspects. The work thus offers a timely survey of these subjects. This is the proceedings of an international conference held in Dubrovnik, Croatia, in September 2011 which brought together researchers from 22 countries to promote and exchange the latest theoretical, computational and experimental research works on fracture and damage mechanics, structural integrity, and durability. Some 200 contributions cover a wide range of topics exploring various aspects of fracture mechanics, failure analysis, corrosion, creep, non-linear problems, dynamic fracture, residual stress, environmental effects, crack propagation, repair techniques, composites, ceramics, polymers, metallic and concrete materials, probabilistic aspects, risk analysis, damage tolerance, fracture control, computer modeling methods (finite elements, boundary elements, and meshless), and microstructural and multiscale aspects.
