Foreword
The analysis of stress and deformation of structures and components is not an
end in itself. The aim is to predict the serviceability, reliability, and manu-
facturability of both existing structures and components and of proposed
designs. In order to make such assessments, the mode (or modes) of failure
need to be known and accounted for. The damage can take many forms, e.g.,
cracks, voids, chemical attack. In any case, the result is deterioration of the
structure or component. Predicting the implications of that deterioration for
mechanical integrity is the goal of damage mechanics.
The concept of damage and the realization of its importance for engineer-
ing are not new. What is relatively new (within the last 35 years or so) is
the development of the framework of Continuum Damage Mechanics. There
have been many contributors to this development, but the contributions of
the French school and particularly those of Jean Lemaitre stand out. The
field of damage mechanics has advanced to the point where it is an engineer-
ing tool, with wide applications in industry. In practice, needs arise at several
levels. In a preliminary design stage, the need is often for rapid methods of
analysis that exhibit trends. In a final design stage or in carrying out a safety
assessment the need can be for accurate quantitative predictions. This book
provides formulations that span such a range for a variety of technologically
important modes of failure, providing a perspective on the advantages and
disadvantages of various approaches – from uncoupled, post-processing anal-
yses to fully coupled damage analyses.
After introductory chapters on Continuum Damage Mechanics and nu-
merical analysis of damage, the remaining chapters focus on a mode of dam-
age – ductile failures; low-cycle fatigue; creep, creep-fatigue and dynamic
failures; high-cycle fatigue; and failure of brittle and quasi-brittle materials.
Each of these chapters appropriately begins with a section on engineering
considerations to set the stage and provides a guide to analysis methods and
tools. It is quite remarkable that such a wide range of behaviors are incor-
porated within a unified presentation. The damage mechanics “apple” has
blossomed into a tree with many branches!

Foreword
Since failure is a complex nonlinear process, the predicted behavior can
be sensitive to parameter values. Their appropriate identification is key for
reliable engineering predictions, as is understanding the sensitivity of predic-
tions to the particular choice of parameter values. The presentation here pays
attention to parameter sensitivity as well as to parameter identification.
This book provides a comprehensive guide to Engineering Damage Me-
chanics. It should appeal to all engineers and students of engineering con-
cerned with lifetime prediction and with the failure resistant design of struc-
tures, components, and processes.
