Review: This book presents theoretical methods for problems in nonlinear fracture and damage mechanics. There are eight chapters covering: crack growth in residual stress fields; closed form solutions for stress intensity factors in an MSD stiffened panel; boundary element method modelling (BEM) and experimental measurements; a new nonlinear analysis approach based on damage mechanics and BEM; constituitive-microdamage of ductile dynamic fracture; microstructural effects in stress concentration and fracture problems in rock mechanics; size effects in fracture of quasi-brittle materials; and a complete Gurzon (dilation plasticity) model.
