Scalar Damage and Healing Mechanics (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Scalar Damage and Healing Mechanics outlines the latest cutting-edge research in the field of scalar damage and healing mechanics, providing step-by-step insight on how to use scalar damage variables in various modeling scenarios. Additionally, the book discusses the latest advances in healing mechanics, covering the evolution of healing and damage, small damage and small healing, healing processes in series and in parallel, super healing, and the thermodynamics of damage and healing. Coupled systems, in which damage triggers self-healing as well as a decoupled system where healing occurs after damage is identified by external detection, are also discussed.

Readers are additionally introduced to fundamental concepts such as effective stress, damage evolution, plane stress damage decomposition, and other damage processes that form the basis for a better understanding of the more advanced chapters.

• Synthesizes the latest research in damage mechanics and the healing mechanics of materials, including thermodynamics, elasticity and plasticity
• Includes practical exercises and problems for readers to work with before performing their own modeling scenarios
• Covers various scalar damage variables and outlines different damage processes

Autorenporträt

Boyd Professor at the Louisiana State University, in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Voyiadjis is a Foreign Member of the Academia Europaea, the European Academy of Sciences, and the European Academy of Sciences and Arts. He is a Foreign Member of both the Polish Academy of Sciences, and the National Academy of Engineering of Korea. He is the recipient of the 2008 Nathan M. Newmark Medal of the American Society of Civil Engineers He is a Distinguished Member of the American Society of Civil Engineers; Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the Society of Engineering Science, the American Academy of Mechanics, and the Engineering Mechanics Institute of ASCE; and Associate Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Voyiadjis' primary research interest is in plasticity and damage mechanics of metals, metal matrix composites, polymers, and ceramics with emphasis on the theoretical modeling, numerical simulation of material behavior, and experimental correlation. Research activities of particular interest encompass macro-mechanical and micro-mechanical constitutive modeling, experimental procedures for quantification of crack densities, inelastic behavior, thermal effects, interfaces, damage, failure, fracture, impact, and numerical modeling. He has 2 patents, over 364 refereed journal articles, and 23 books (12 as editor) to his credit. He has given over 420 presentations as plenary, keynote, and invited speaker as well as other talks. Over 68 graduate students (39 Ph.D.) completed their degrees under his direction.
