This book presents, in a unified manner, a variety of topics in Continuum and Fracture Mechanics: energy methods, conservation laws, mathematical methods to solve two-dimensional and three-dimensional crack problems. Moreover, a series of new subjects is presented in a straightforward manner, accessible to under-graduate students. Emphasizing physical or experimental back-grounds, then analysis and theoretical results, this monograph is intended for use by students and researchers in solid mechanics, mechanical engineering and applied mathematics.

From the reviews: "This monograph is mainly a scope of research results of group of scientists of École Polytechnique-Paris. The results concern crack theory and associated fields as fracture, yielding and material science. ... There are many problems for discussions, e.g. the Dugodale-Barenblatt cracks are absolutely different from physical point of view. ... Altogether the monograph is an interesting and valuable contribution and can be used by researchers and graduate students." (Jozef Golecki, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1108 (10), 2007)
