Continuum Damage Mechanics

2015
This chapter introduces the general concept of ductile damage, i.e. the development of microvoids and pores due to large plastic strains and deformations. The general definitions of damage based on a scalar damage variable as the surface damage variable or the void volume fraction are introduced and experimental approaches to measure the quantity of ...

Continuum Damage Mechanics

2005
Continuum Damage Mechanics (CDM) can be thought of as a subset of ISV theory as described earlier. It was introduced by Kachanov [1] and modified somewhat by Rabotnov [2]] has now reached a stage that practical engineering problems can be solved. In contrast to fracture mechanics which considers the process of initiation and growth of microcracks as a ...

Material Damage and Continuum Damage Mechanics

2011
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 ...

Endochronic Theory of Continuum Damage Mechanics

Journal of Engineering Mechanics, 1998
The constitutive framework presented accounts for the coupling between the damage process and the plastic deformation process. The model build its basis on the thermodynamic equivalence of an actual damaged continuum and an equivalent fictitious undamaged continuum.

Continuum damage mechanics: basic concepts

1999
Failure of most structural members on the macroscale follows the irreversible heterogeneous microprocesses of time and environment dependent deterioration of materials. The existence of distributed microscopic voids, cavities, or cracks of the size of crystal grains is referred as material damage, whereas the process of void nucleation, growth, and ...

On a Class of Continuum Damage Mechanics Theories

International Journal of Damage Mechanics, 1993
A thermodynamically consistent continuum damage mechanics formula tion in the stress space is outlined. Damage is reflected in the fourth-order material com pliance tensor involving a damage parameter whose increment is obtained from the consis tency condition of the damage surface. A new damage function and an alternate damage response tensor in mode
